Question: Is Tanqueray a higher quality version of Gordon's? On the Gordon's bottles, the Royal Warrant states: "By appointment to Her Majesty The Queen Tanqueray Gordon." Both are owned by Diageo, but are they from the same distiller? Malakaville 08:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

As indicates, in 1898 Alexander Gordon & Co merged with Charles Tanqueray & Co, forming Tanqueray Gordon & Co. That company is now owned by Diageo. Given that Tanqueray and Gordon's have a very different flavour (in that Tanqueray isn't actually revolting ;-) ), I wouldn't have thought that it was a "higher quality version", just a different product made by the same company. However, given modern production methods and economies of scale, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they were both made of the same basic grain spirit etc, but I can't find anything to confirm that.

When did Gordon's cease being a quality brand and start being minging? Surely since the 'fifties, when Ian Fleming made James Bond order it in his Vesper martini. I really can't imagine that someone so picky about food and drink as Fleming would in any way have recommended Gordon's as it is today. 195.92.40.49 18:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Cultural reference - The African Queen

I added some info about Gordon's appearance in "The African Queen." JMarkievicz2 06:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC) .

Confliction

The article conflicts itself. First it says that the recipe is has remained constant, then it explains how the recipe changed and how the proof was lessened..

I wonder which gin has the highest proof..
