Hi All,

Friends 30th coming up and he's quite into his Gin, so I thought I'd get him some Tanqueray 10 Gin, small problem being I can't seem to find where to buy it. Any suggestions ?

cheers

Michael

Also available at waitrose. You may need to ask the smaller ones to get some in, though. Especially if you live near me, as I'll have bought it already.

I "like" Plymouth, but Ten just has the edge on Smootheness and pallatability...

At a hefty strength of 57% abv, Navy Strength offers a more intense and rich taste to the Original Strength. The fragrant and aromatic botanicals are amplified at this stronger strength, whilst retaining the smooth and soft character that Plymouth Gin is so renowned for.

Origins

This was the traditional strength required by the British Royal Navy, as it was the benchmark strength at which a spirit could be spilt on gunpowder and it would still ignite. For almost two centuries, Her Majesty's Naval Fleet was sustained by Plymouth Gin, and no ship left port without a bottle of Navy Strength 100º Proof.

You don't notice the grub is so carp when
