The name is TanQueray and it's a brand of gin from a UK company. These days the company is just called Gordon & Co., but the full name used to be Tanqueray, Gordon & Co. To be strictly accurate, the company is part of United Distillers, the same company that own Johnny Walker.
Since Gordon's gin is the world's best selling gin, I don't know why the emphasis in the US is on the name Tanqueray. It's sold here as a premium gin, but AFAIK it's just Gordon's in a fancy bottle.
