Old Tom Gin was all the rage in 18th century England. Old Tom’s are known as a fuller bodied and sweeter style of gin. Today the style has seen a great resurgence and has opened the door for many gin makers to play around with oak aging.

This gin is made from 100% pot distilled corn, juniper, and “other botanicals inspired by the spice trade of the prevailing era.” It is aged for 1 year in bourbon casks and then finished in oloroso sherry casks. The final product is bottled at 50.

    This style is not legally defined, but in general, this style of gin is mildly sweet and is not juniper-forward. It falls in between London Dry Gin and Genever in terms of sweetness level.

Tasting Notes

"This is surprisingly light and balanced for a high-proof spirit. Everything on the nose has been sweetened a little. Juniper, sweet chamomile, honeyed lemons, and rich vanilla are front and center. The palate is lean and silky. On the palate, more honey, ripe citrus fruit, some bitter juniper, and a sweet grass finish that is often found in Rhum Agricoles. Because of its balance this could be used in a wide variety of cocktails, but an Old Fashioned should be at the top of the list."
