Gin & Tonic
There are various types of gin with notable difference in the way it’s made & tastes. This depends on the stills, pot or column, used to make these gins & the types of botanicals & spices infused
.
Types of gin include
Distilled gin, London Gin, Compound Gin, Plymouth Gin, Old Tom Gin, Sloe Gin, Juniper flavoured spirit drinks
.
Tanqueray London dry gin – In essence no flavouring can be added after distillation and use of artificial flavouring is not permitted. Unlike distilled gin where it’s permitted to add further flavorings both natural & artificial
.
Tanqueray has subtle influences coming from juniper berries, coriander, angelica, cassia. The herbs used in distillation process gives this gin a clear texture and an unsweetened taste
