An Old Tom Gin all the way from the Anchor Distillery. While this may be sweeter than your run-of-the-mill gin just like other Old Toms, Anchor have gone about it in a rather nontraditional way - using stevia rather than sugar.

Red liquorice, vibrant anise, a kick of peppery juniper, rounded sweetness.

This is a recipe inspired by the Old Tom Gin, using the Gracias a Dios agave spirit as a base which is macerated and distilled with 8 botanicals. It is then aged in oak barrels for 3 months, after the addition of Espadin juice (agave Espadin is the most commonly used agave in mezcal) which gives it a sweet touch.

Notes - sweet, citric and smokey.

Hayman's Old Tom Gin is produced from an original Old Tom Gin recipe from the family archives. Old Tom Gin is a botanically-intensive and lightly sweetened style of gin that consequently delivers a balanced and mild undertone which results in a subtle and distinctive gin experience. Specified in the recipes of numerous classic gin based cocktails, it provides balance and nuance unique to its style and long tradition. Hayman Distillers is the longest serving family owned gin distiller in England today. Hayman?s Old Tom Gin is made under the careful supervision of our Chairman, Christopher Hayman.Source - www.oldtomgin.co.uk

An Italian Old Tom gin here from Kapriol! Foresty juniper is at the core here, supported by Italian chamomile, lavender, hops, mint and rose, among other botanicals. There's not a whole load of sugar in this one so it's not overly sweet, with some hoppy bitterness in there.

Tasting Notes: 

Piney juniper and fresh herbs, with rosemary leading into a balsamic note supported by floral sweetness on a hoppy, bitter finish.
