This recipe takes the sweetness of classic old tom and mixes it with organic botanicals that give a twist to the original recipe.
Old Tom gins emerged in 18th century Great Britain and consisted of adding a little sugar to classic gin. According to legend, “Old Tom” was the name of the cat figure where a slot was placed in which to place a coin and the distillate was then clandestinely dispatched. All this in order to avoid the rules that prohibited the sale of alcohol during the “Gin Act” of 1736.
