Hernö Old Tom Gin
Old Tom Gin
Hernö // Sweden
Released in 2014, Hernö's take on an Old Tom gin begins with the same botanical recipe - juniper berries, coriander seeds, fresh lemon peel, lingon berries, meadowsweet, black pepper, cassia and vanilla - as its other gin styles.
However, this Old Tom gin uses a larger amount of meadowsweet and includes some honey that is added just prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes
"A touch of cucumber and some juniper berries welcome you on the nose, as well as a touch of ginger, chamomile and elderflower. The palate is lovely well-rounded, smooth and sweet with notes of honey, resin and soft wood spices. Superb stuff! How can you not immediately want to make a Tom Collins after tasting this?"
