It's so much more subtle and yet so much more complex than classic Tanqueray. Clean juniper notes sparkle while notes of both red grapefruit, white grapefruit and even a hint of jasmine. The palate of Tanqueray No. 10 certainly traditional in a lot of respects. Juniper is the star, with a lovely pine note that lasts through the finish. Coriander, too. But I think what sets it apart and what really elevates its appeal for cocktail craft is that creamy, almost slightly buttery mid-palate where the citrus jumps forward. Lots of orange and lime, but there's this suggestive vanilla buttercream tinge to it.
