Crafted from the same distilled botanicals as London Dry, Tanqueray 0.0% boasts the same unmistakable quality experience that you expect from Tanqueray.
Today sees the launch of Tanqueray 0.0%, an alcohol free spirit from the creators of Tanqueray, the bartenders’ top choice of gin.[2] Alcohol free and low alcohol choices are expected to deliver 23% of total adult drinks growth over the next three years, with Tanqueray 0.0% bringing a delicious addition to the market for those not willing to compromise on taste or experience.[3]
Consumers are looking for more choice at home, meaning the alcohol free and low alcohol category is currently worth £150m RSV in the UK off-trade[4]. Diageo is committed to driving innovation within the category and most recently introduced Gordon’s 0.0% alcohol free spirit, bolstering the Gordon’s portfolio and it is already the top selling alcohol free spirit in the off trade.[5]
Tanqueray 0.0% has been crafted using the same distinct blend of quality botanicals used in the making of Tanqueray London Dry gin including: piney juniper, peppery coriander, aromatic angelica and sweet liquorice. Individually immersed in water, the botanicals are heated and then distilled to deliver the complex yet refreshing taste that Tanqueray is famous for.
Founded in Bloomsbury, London in 1830; Tanqueray has always been driven by the founder, Charles Tanqueray’s, spirit for exploration and innovation. Tanqueray 0.0% joins a celebrated portfolio which includes: Tanqueray London Dry, Tanqueray No. Ten, Tanqueray Rangpur, Tanqueray Flor De Sevilla, Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale and several other limited editions.
Tanqueray Master Distiller, Terry Fraser, said “Our expert innovation team has combined years of expertise and historic Gin distilling knowledge to create a credible alcohol-free experience. Tanqueray 0.0% is created by distilling the same botanicals used in Tanqueray London Dry Gin. These botanicals are individually immersed in water, heated and then distilled before being expertly blended together to capture the essence of Tanqueray in a delicious alcohol-free alternative. This special distillation process is a closely guarded secret, known only to a handful of people and we are incredibly proud to be bringing gin drinkers that juniper and citrus led taste they’re expecting from Tanqueray when they choose not to drink alcohol.”
Anita Robinson, Marketing Director GB, Diageo commented, “We know that people are increasingly making more conscious decisions about what they consume, but this doesn’t mean that they should have to compromise on taste or experience. We are proud to be launching Tanqueray 0.0%, a delicious alternative for those who choose not to drink for whatever reason.
Our aim was to ensure that we retain Tanqueray’s distinctive flavours of piney juniper and faint lemon zest which when mixed with the perfect serve is exquisite in taste. Tanqueray 0.0% delivers a truly authentic, vibrant alcohol free experience that captures the spirit of Tanqueray perfectly.”
Tanqueray 0.0% is also a low-calorie option, with only 6kcals per 50ml. This is not inclusive of tonics as they vary considerably. The RRP for Tanqueray 0.0% is £16 per 70cl bottle.
Tanqueray 0.0% will be available in 70cl bottles from today in Sainsbury’s and in all other national supermarkets from April onwards.
