Tom & Berry Gin
Realising that traditional sherry like flavours would really be brought to life in the cask, our Distillers experimented with several different berries and spices until they got just the right mix to create this rich, warming tipple.
Tasting Notes
The Nose
To begin with: strong, sweet spicey aromas.
The Palate
Aromatic and warming cinnamon.
The Finish
To finish: perfumed clove and oaked berry.
Botanicals
-
Cranberry
Cranberries offer a deep fruit accompaniment that compliments the sweet mellow finish of the sherry barrel perfectly.
-
Grapefruit
Grapefruit gives the gin a natural sweetness that is reminiscent of the traditional Old Tom Gin style.
More Product Information
First bottled by a London Distillery in 1812 we’ve spent years tinkering with various recipes for a sweeter Old Tom style gin. Taking inspiration from how it used to be made by London Distillers of old, and how it used to be stored in gin shops of the time (originally in barrels rather than bottles) this festive opportunity was too good to miss. Rested in an Oloroso Sherry cask, this Fine Cordial Gin (the Gentlemen’s Old Tom) derives a natural sweetness from the grapefruit and cinnamon and is distilled with the addition of the berry king of the festive feast – the cranberry. Just as they play an indispensable role in your Christmas dinner, their presence in this gin offers a deep fruit accompaniment that compliments the sweet mellow finish of the sherry barrel perfectly.
This is great in an Old Fashioned with dashes of Angostura bitters and simple syrup.
