I started my Gin adventure with Bombay Sapphire, and it's the one I usually recommend to Gin noobs, due to it being very..."easy". For myself today though, I prefer Tanqueray No 10 over the other "standard" Gins.
While I love trying many expensive craft Gins, I have to say Tanqueray and Tanqueray Ten are fabulous Gins and even thought they are mass produced it is a damn fine Gin and I love many fabulous cocktails where Tanqueray does a fabulous job. I also love Beefeater - I love a heavy punch of Juniper and a good traditional London Dry even though I also love collecting many craft Gins. In the end nothing ever beats a fabulous London Dry Gin!! I am happy with a Tanqueray Martini and I also really love the Tanqueray Ten for a fabulous Martini!! Both are well priced and they are terrific Gins!! Love your reviews!! Cheers!! 🙂
Sounds like we have very similar tastes Christine! Thanks for all the love and contribution on the channel! 😊 Here in Australia, Tanqueray Ten is actually priced similarly to a lot of craft gins, but it still holds its own for sure! An all time classic!!
Hi, just started my Gin journey, kind of senselessly bought the Tanqueray (regular) as my first bottle to learn and explore flavours, and ultimately to make GT that i like. Im very happy with it so far and it seems like a solid foundation, that should help me understand the flavours more due to only 4 botanicals and not so complex flavour. I will have to try no. 10 for sure! Either way, great video, very informative and helpful!
I take a straight shot of vodka, rum, and tequila on a regular basis, but I've only tried Beefeater gin before and hated it. How do you compare it to Beefeater?
So between Tanqueray No.10 and The Botanist, which was one has a stronger citrus flavour? Hendricks is my favourite gin, I just drink standard gin tonic. Fever Tree Mediterranean is my tonic of choice but I also like Suntory Tonic.
Without a doubt the Tanqueray No. 10 is more strong on citrus notes than the Botanist. But to be honest I don’t think you would be disappointed with either 🙂
If you like citrus notes then you should give the Suntory gin a go as well (called Roku), it’s very strong on the Japanese citrus Yuzu which is so delicious!
@@TimandTonic Actually I live in Japan and have tried Roku but still prefer Hendricks, although maybe I should give it another shot as it was at a friend's house and they didn't have tonic water. Love yuzu in general, there's a few yuzu gins here, one literally just called 'yuzugin' which was pretty good, 47%. I suppose I should also say I like smooth easy to drink gins, but always interested in trying new flavours, great channel btw
Great reviews thank you, if you are to do a comparison could you try the MGC (Melbourne gin company) against the Number 3 London dry, I have a hard time deciding but the MGC is around $20 cheaper...and Aussie :) Or Fords v's Bulldog, just suggesting, cheers.
Awesome suggestions! I’ve tried all these before. Stay tuned! If you’re getting MGC $20 cheaper that sounds like great value. MGC I find to be a more well balanced rounded gin while London No.3 a bit more of a spice driven profile (lots of cardamom). Hope that helps in the interim 😁
Hi! My gf and me love to drink gin especially gin and tonic. She likes the classic tanqueray but not the 10. She said, she can smell alcohol more. I think it's because of the citrus flavor which are really present in the tanqueray 10. Do you suggest to add more tonic in a g&T with a gin witch has a higher % of alcohol?
Tanqueray Number 10 is quite a bit stronger than the original so that makes sense (here in Australia Tanq is 40% and Tanq 10 is 47%). I haven’t heard people mention it tastes stronger because of the citrus notes but it’s possible. Absolutely if it’s too strong for you feel free to add more tonic. There is no right or wrong answer here it’s all down to personal preference and what tastes good to you. If you want to tone down the citrus notes then obviously don’t garnish it with any citrus and try and offset it with a richer garnish like a cinnamon stick or something like that.
Even though #10 has more juniper, is it strong to the taste or can you taste the citrus notes more? I have tried the original and wasn't a fan because it was way to much juniper forward for me personally. I like a more mild juniper note or at least other notes masking it more.
When you mess with GIN and add fruit, its like adding fruit flavor to tequila, .Its wrong. I invented a gin recipe at a party 18 yrs ago. 1.5 shots of Gin, 1/2 shot sweet vermouth, 1/2 shot roses lime juice, 3/4 shot of tonic, and finish with ginger ale (1.5 shots) - Drop in large green olive with pit. - all on ice.. add to the end , . I call it 007.
Hey mate, no offence taken! You mean not doing drinks recommendations? I try to keep the drinks recommendations to the individual reviews rather than comparisons to not keep it too long, but I’m defo open to adding it back in if people think it’s super valuable 😁
@@TimandTonic Right, no I was actually referring to the editing. you seem to cut every time you take a drink. The individual reviews are fine. More vids, more opportunity to get views '-)
@@thomasoday7828 oh right, I’m with you now! I’ll keep that in mind that it looks strange next time I’m editing… was just playing around with different things for pacing 😄 I’ve got another full cocktail recipe video coming this week, been a while since I did one of those 😅
Love the original Tanqueray with diet tonic water and a twist of lime. Refreshing.

Me and my girlfriend love tanqueray, just picked up a bottle of tanqueray 10 after thoughouly enjoying the rangpur lime variety.

Thank you Tim, just was I was looking for. Greetings from Sweden. :)
Glad you found it useful Andreas :)
In Germany the original Tanqueray is about 20€ (32 AUD) and the Tanqueray No.10 about 25€ (40 AUD), which is quite a lot cheaper than yours
I am surprised by how mild and soft the flavor is from default Tanq, especially considering the 43%
The classic Tanqueray is 47.3% here in Taiwan, same as the number ten.
I take a straight shot of vodka, rum, and tequila on a regular basis, but I've only tried Beefeater gin before and hated it. How do you compare it to Beefeater?
Perfect review.Talked relevant only
Nice job Tim. I really like your videos and channel. 🥰😎💋👄

G&T is usually better tasting when you go heavy on the G

im about to drink
Have you ever tried Tanqueray Lovage...If you have not i think it would shake you to the core lol....get a bottle when you can ;-)
I would like you to review my gin in comparison with Tanqueray. 😊
When you mess with GIN and add fruit, its like adding fruit flavor to tequila, .Its wrong.

Sounds great
So good tanqueray ten gin ❤👍🇬🇧🍷
Can I post a bottle of my gin for you to do a video?
Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between Tanqueray and Tanqueray #10. My favorite gin was Beefeater's. I quit drinking in 1975...
He said the no. 10 came out in 2000
Why you quite drinking?
@@will5430caught him in his bullsh*t lmao
Mate!?! Not meaning to be critical, but, why are you cutting over the drinks? Really curious.
Still enjoy your stuff though.

@@thomasoday7828 thank you for the constructive feedback! I honestly do appreciate it 🙂
Ahahahahaha look at whats left of the no 10. We know you love that stuff
I would not use gin every day😂
