Size: 500ML Proof: 84.8�(42.4% ABV) Origin: United Kingdom Distillery: Ableforth's Ableforth's has been at it again, this time recreating a traditional style of gin that was very popular in 18th and 19th century England. Old Tom is a slightly sweetened gin, created following a request from The Handmade Cocktail Company, which needed a tasty Old Tom gin for use in their Martinez cocktail.
Old Tom got its name from an unusual dispensing method used by London gin houses.
A tom cat-shaped plaque would be hung outside where passers-by could drop a coin in the animal�s mouth. The proprietor would then dispense a shot of gin from a tube under the cat�s paws.
This almost-forgotten style of gin is perfect in sweet gin cocktails � it�s how the classic Tom Collins got its name � and makes a tasty G&T. Nose: This is fruity and sweet on the nose with pronounced botanical notes. There is a good citrus element to it too. Palate: The light sweetness seems to add body to this, and helps develop some of the juniper and orange flavours. Finish: Clean with a touch of pepper.
