Poetic License Old Tom Gin

An intense, Old Tom gin from the Poetic Licence distillery in Sunderland! tasting inspiration from the sweet style of gin popular in the 1800s, features hibiscus & rose petals as part of its botanical selection, leading to its sweet flavor profile. It has an aromatic birth with notes of juniper & a hint of rose petals; while a rich life adds notes of cracked black pepper & sugared rose petals; that leads to a long peppery finish. January 2018

Not very sweet, a touch bitter. Oak cask gives it an amber colour, spicy notes. A bit hit and miss

Interesting flavours, an unusual Old Tom, tried the serving suggestion and it worked well. Will try other Old Tom gins to compare. A bit like Marmite this one
