Back in the 1830s, Charles Tanqueray invented a gin which is still celebrated to this day. The same pot still used by Charles Tanqueray, called “Old Tom”, is still used to distil Tanqueray gin today and it was the only thing to survive the bombing of the distillery in World War 2. Tanqueray London Dry Gin is a perfectly balanced gin and one of the most awarded gins in the world.
