Downslope Ould Tom Gin

*All Clearance Items Are Final Sale!

When one thinks of gin, they usually comes to rest squarely on the London Dry style of gin…very dry and very heavy on the juniper and citrus and derived from an infusion of neutral grain spirits… A grand nephew of a very distinguished family. Well Ould Tom is a patriarch of that family. Distilled from cane instead of grain, the spirit that is infused is first pot distilled and is anything but neutral. The infusion of the 11 botanicals is done in a small hybrid still. Instead of lying about in the still, botanicals and the spirit are married in the vapors as they ascend the column, giving the gin a blended aroma of bright citrus, juniper, and exotic spices with a caramel backbone. A pleasing viscosity carries the taste of all of the botanicals across the pallet ending in a juniper and cardamom finish.
