Tanqueray Sterling Vodka applies the Tanqueray distilling tradition to vodka — pure grain spirit distilled at high proof and then carefully redistilled in a 220-year-old copper pot still, producing the smooth, balanced body that the Tanqueray name has been associated with since 1830 and making it the rare vodka with a genuine distillery heritage behind it.Tanqueray has operated from Cameronbridge in Scotland since Charles Tanqueray founded the London distillery in 1830 — a tradition of distilling expertise that Sterling carries into the vodka category. The 220-year-old copper pot still (the same still family used for the Tanqueray gin program) produces a different character than the high-efficiency column stills used for most premium vodkas — more textured, with a subtle complexity that clean neutral-spirit vodkas don't achieve. The spirit is cut with water after the final distillation to reach either 80 or 100 proof, with the resulting vodka carrying the smooth, balanced profile that distinguishes pot still distillation from column-still production.Specs Producer: Tanqueray, Scotland Style: Vodka — copper pot still distilled Base: Pure grain spirit Distillation: High-proof column still, then redistilled in 220-year-old copper pot still ABV: 40% or 50% (80 or 100 Proof) Size: 750ml Browse all vodka at Wooden Cork.{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Why is Tanqueray Sterling different from standard grain vodkas?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The redistillation in a 220-year-old copper pot still produces more texture and subtle complexity than standard high-efficiency column still vodka production.
