Tanqueray Batch Distilled Gin No. Ten
Tanqueray Batch Distilled Gin No. Ten is a 94.6-proof (47.3% ABV) small-batch gin distilled in the "Tiny Ten" copper pot still at Cameronbridge Distillery — built on whole fresh citrus fruits (grapefruit, lime, orange) and chamomile flowers over the classic Tanqueray botanicals. Introduced in 2000 and named for still number ten, it is the only gin inducted into the San Francisco World Spirits Competition Hall of Fame and the #1 Bartenders' Choice spirit in Drinks International's 2023 Brands Report. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Bartender's Gin, by Acclamation
Most premium gins win medals; No. Ten won the profession — named the single most trusted spirit behind the bar in the 2023 Drinks International Brands Report, the gin working bartenders actually reach for. The difference is the fresh fruit: whole grapefruits, limes, and oranges go into Tiny Ten with the botanicals rather than as essences afterward, giving a bright, almost perfumed citrus layer that dried peels can't match. Compare it side-by-side with the Seville expression in our Tanqueray lineup, or browse the gin collection for its peers.
Tasting Notes
Nose: fresh grapefruit, lime zest, soft chamomile florals, clean juniper. Palate: silky and bright — citrus oils, grapefruit, juniper, gentle herbal spice with a hint of Earl Grey and cardamom. Finish: long, clean, zesty citrus peel.
How to Enjoy
This is the martini gin — its 47.3% ABV and citrus intensity stand up to vermouth like few others. Also superb in a premium G&T with a pink-grapefruit garnish, or a Negroni where the chamomile softens the bitter edge.
