Edinburgh Old Tom Gin
From: Edinburgh Gin
Edinburgh Gin’s reinvention of Old Tom Gin takes a perfect balance of sweet and dry to new heights through distilling excellence.
Inspired by a 200-year-old recipe, their distillers have created a truly unique Old Tom. Signature vanilla takes a tasty diversion into earthy, well-rounded macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, and sarsaparilla root.
Sweet and mellow on the palate with the subtle presence of tonka beans and meadowsweet flowers alongside traditional gin botanicals.
This contemporary take on a centuries old gin style uses botanicals to impart a rich, earthy and naturally sweet spirit – without relying on large quantities of added sugar. Tonka beans, sarsaparilla root, macadamia nuts and meadowsweet give the gin notes of vanilla and almonds with a rich, nutty, bittersweet flavour.
