Embracing Gordons and Tanqueray
Step inside the world of gin, where Tanqueray and Gordon's are the two most recognizable brands and tradition meets innovation.
Gordon’s London Dry Gin
Alexander Gordon established his distillery in London about 250 years ago and began developing the formula for a gin with exceptional flavour. Gordon's premium and unique juniper flavour has come to characterise the flavour of the traditional G&T.
Gordon's gin is meant to be savoured, not analysed. It's the ideal gin to kick off a Friday night or Tuesday night get-together with friends, where we can laugh and have a moment together. It is also ideal for gifting during parties.

Tanqueray
The renowned gin company Tanqueray was founded in London, England, in 1830 by two brothers Charles and Edward Tanqueray. Building a distillery was advantageous since 1832 saw the development of the technique for continuous distillation. This allowed for more sophisticated gin production.
Nowadays, the well-known Cameron Bridge Distillery in Fife, Scotland, is the site of Tanqueray distillation. The team, led by Master Distiller Terry Fraser, ensures that Tanqueray is of the highest quality and preserves Charles Tanqueray's legacy.
Tanqueray London Dry Gin was developed in 1830 by Charles Tanqueray and is double-distilled. It is elegant and well-balanced, with a distinct flavour resulting from the marriage of Tuscan juniper, coriander berries, liquorice, and angelica root. A dry, cold character comes from a formula that hasn't altered since 1832, making this excellent gin. This well-known gin is linked to glitzy figures like Frank Sinatra and Ernest Hemingway.
