0/100 · Imported

Head office in London, EnglandFounded 1830

The classic recipe uses four botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica root, and liquorice. Nothing on the company page places a Tanqueray still in Canada.

The same page says the gin has used the same ten botanicals since 1987, vapour infused after a recipe linked to 1761. The blue bottle is the retail mark. No Bacardi page places this still in Canada.

4. Gordon's

0/100 · Imported

Origin unverified

Head office in London, EnglandFounded 1769

Gordon's is a Diageo brand, and Diageo is British. The company dates the recipe to Alexander Gordon in 1769 and says the London Dry is triple distilled from juniper, coriander, angelica, and liquorice. It does not name the distillery. The LCBO lists the 1140 ml bottle as made in Quebec, Canada. That store line is not backed by a Diageo plant name, so the Canadian origin stays unconfirmed.

Brand ownership: Diageo (United Kingdom)
Ultimate parent: Diageo
Manufacturing: Not confirmed. LCBO prints Quebec on the 1140 ml bottle.
Ingredient origin: Juniper, coriander, angelica, liquorice; countries not named
Official claim: Not disclosed by Diageo

0/100 · Imported

Head office in Girvan, South AyrshireFounded 1999

Hendrick's is a Scottish gin, not a Canadian one. William Grant and Sons says the liquid is infused with rose and cucumber and distilled on two different stills, a Bennett and a Carter-Head. The Gin Guild places every drop at the Hendrick's Gin Palace inside the Girvan distillery in Ayrshire. Wikipedia dates the launch to 1999. No page puts a Hendrick's still in Canada.
