Ransom Old Tom Gin, 0,7 L, 44%

Jensens Old Tom Gin 0.7L 43% Inspiration from Japan - recipe from 1840 Christian Jensen, the mastermind behind Jensen Gin, first encountered the almost extinct species Old Tom Gin in Japan and was all the more surprised that this forerunner of the successful dry gin with its own character had not been produced in the traditional gin country of England for years and, after returning to the UK, immediately contacted a local distiller to revive it. The rebirth of Old Tom Gin After intensive research to find the spices in question, Jensens Dry Gin was created first - which, incidentally, makes an excellent gin & tonic. Jensen's Old Tom Gin, on the other hand, took a little longer and is based on a recipe from 1840 and is produced without the often communicated obligatory dose of sugar in Old Tom Gins. Bottled in a very simple-looking frosted white glass bottle, the label on the square shape is also puristic and expressive without any decorations. The taste of Jensen's Old Tom Gin Jensen's Old Tom starts off a little rough on the palate and is best enjoyed in a mixed drink and is less intended to be enjoyed neat. The rich abundance of the botanicals used creates a convincing aromatic, almost earthy aftertaste with a strong dash of juniper berries. The floral note that is usually noticeable in Old Tom Gins is almost completely absent from Jensen's Old Tom. This gin is very special and will probably polarize when used in classic gin cocktails such as Gin & Tonic or Martini Cocktail, which otherwise call for dry gin. In aromatic drinks, however, in combination with sweet vermouth or similar, Jensen's Old Tom will convince across the board.

During this time he got to know and love gin and tasted over 100 different bottlings. The great variety fascinated Hillgreen and he decided to delve deeper into the subject. He therefore visited numerous distilleries in the country and exchanged ideas with the master distillers of the individual distilleries. Over time, the decision grew to set up his own gin distillery. Hillgreen had the Hernö Gin Distillery built in the classic Swedish style with white and red painted wooden beams. The distillery is located in the small town of Dala near the town of Härnösand in Ångermanland, making it the northernmost gin production facility in the world! The Hernö Old Tom Gin (ORGANIC) In England, Hillgreen also got to know Old Tom Gin. A slightly sweet gin that was mainly drunk in the 19th century. He wanted to bring this old style of gin to Sweden.

The meadowsweet used is, however, dosed more heavily and the gin is then sweetened with a little honey and sugar. This creates a slightly sweet gin that still has all the typical gin aromas such as juniper, citrus and coriander! A very successful Old Tom Gin!

Both`s Old Tom Gin 0.7L 47% The history of Old Tom Gin Even though it is only known to a few connoisseurs today, Old Tom Gin was once considered one of the most important spirit categories in the world. Old Tom Gin, also known as Old Tom or just Tom Gin, was particularly popular in England in the 18th and 19th centuries. Old Tom Gin is a descendant of the original genever from the Netherlands and is drier than this, but slightly sweeter than the gin known today. At that time, wooden signs in the shape of cats were attached to pubs, which would serve a gin shot to customers by inserting a penny. Since these bars were called "Old Tom" by the locals, it can be assumed that the name Old Tom Gin comes from them. The mechanism of the Old Toms worked in such a way that the penny that was thrown in rolled to the bartender inside the pub, who then poured the gin into a small tube directly into the consumer's mouth using a funnel. An ingenious but also dangerous business idea, as many alcoholics were able to treat themselves to their drinks in secret. Aside from this questionable pouring method, Old Tom Gin also slowly established itself in the more prestigious bars in England and was finally mentioned for the first time in a cocktail book in 1891. This was the book "The Flowing Bowl: When and What to Drink", in which Old Tom Gin was listed as an ingredient in the Tom Collins cocktail that is still popular today. Over the years, things have unfortunately gone quiet around Old Tom Gin, and it has only been experiencing a small renaissance for around ten years now, due to the increasing interest in bar culture.

Langleys Old Tom Export Strength Gin 0.7L 47% The Langleys Old Tom Strength Gin is a real showpiece that has its origins in Great Britain. The Old Tom Export Strength Gin from the renowned Langley Distillery has been available from us for some time. The Old Tom Gin first became known in the 18th century. Thanks to the Dutch, the British were familiarized with the recipe for genever. This almost created a hype in which the schnapps with the juniper flavor was further developed. Due to the Gin Act, the Old Tom lost almost all of its importance and the classic gin took its course. Today, the special gin is once again enjoying great popularity around the world. Old Tom Gin is, so to speak, the absolute opposite of the classic and well-known London Dry Gin.

Sugar plays a very important role here. However, the motto is: "less is more". After all, only a subtle sweetness is to be achieved.

The aroma and taste of Langleys Old Tom Export Strength Gin is slightly sweet and perfectly balanced. Coriander and the peel of various citrus fruits dominate the palate, which is also accompanied by the classic juniper notes. Overall, the drinking experience is noticeably positive and is quite soft and mild. A loyal companion that prefers to be drunk neat or to play the main role in a fresh cocktail or drink.

Pinckney Bend Gin 0.7L 46.5% Pinckney Bend Destillery It is the small but subtle differences that allow a small artisanal distillery to keep up with the big global corporations. With attention to detail and the preservation of old traditions and stories, you can often achieve more than a mass-produced gin, whiskey or vodka can. American Gin There are a few special features in the production process that make Pinckney Bend Gin very different from others.

Some of them are macerated and distilled, others are suspended in the column still. These are, of course, some well-known botanicals, such as juniper, coriander or orris, without which the gin would not be gin at all. But special ingredients such as lavender and special citrus fruits are also used. These subtle differences can be recognized on the palate. First a clear juniper aroma, which gives way to a softer, sweeter aroma. The harmonious gin is rounded off by a light citrus finish.
