This Old Tom Gin is a historically accurate revival of the predominant Gin in fashion during the mid 1800's and the golden age of American cocktails. The recipe was developed in collaboration with historian, author, and mixologist extraordinaire David Wondrich. Old Tom is the Gin for mixing classic cocktails dating from the days before prohibition. Its subtle maltiness is the result of using a base worth of malted barley, combined with an infusion of botanicals in high proof corn spirits. The final distillation is run through an alembic pot still in order to preserve the maximum amount of aromatics, flavor and body. Only the "heart of the hearts" (the very best portion of distillate) is retained for this special bottling. 44% ABV - 88 Proof AWARDS Gold Medal 2013 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal, Best in Category San Diego Spirits Festival Best of Category 7th Annual American Distilling Institute 95 Points, Tasting Panel 93 pts, Beverage Testing Institute Gold Medal 2015 American Craft Spirits Association Judging Gold Medal 2017 Seattle International Spirits Awards
