Tanqueray Old Tom Gin — 750ml | 47.3% ABV

A Limited-Edition Revival of a 19th-Century Classic Tanqueray Old Tom is a premium revival of a historical gin style that dominated the mid-1800s. Positioned between the malty richness of a Dutch Genever and the crisp botanicals of a London Dry, "Old Tom" is characterized by a slightly sweeter, fuller-bodied profile. This specific expression is based on an original recipe found in Charles Tanqueray’s 1835 recipe book, offering a rare opportunity to experience a "bridge" spirit in the evolution of gin.

Historical Craftsmanship and Character Distilled in the iconic "Old Tom" pot still, this gin utilizes a higher concentration of botanicals and a touch of sweetness to achieve its signature mouthfeel. At 47.3% ABV (94.6 Proof), it maintains the high-strength structural integrity required for professional mixology. While the botanical core remains classic Tanqueray (juniper, coriander, angelica, and liquorice), the balance is shifted to emphasize a rich, tropical fruitiness and a velvety texture that is lost in modern dry gins.

Detailed Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Crystal clear with heavy, oily legs indicating a rich sugar/botanical concentration.

• Aroma: Intense and aromatic; dominant notes of juniper are softened by sweet citrus peel, cracked black pepper, and a subtle floral honey scent.

• Palate: Full-bodied and silky. The initial sweetness is perfectly integrated with spicy ginger, zesty lemon, and a robust juniper core.

• Finish: Long, warm, and slightly spicy with a lingering sweetness of candied orange and liquorice.
