The gins were created by The Bloomsbury Club, a group of gin lovers and drinks professionals, with Charles Maxwell of Thames Distillers in Clapham, London, a master distiller whose family has been making gin for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld Tom is the style of gin that preceded London Dry. It got its name from the wooden plaques shaped like black cats, \"Old Toms,\" displayed outside the doors of 18th-century pubs and drinking halls to signal that gin was served. Influenced by the Dutch genever, the style has less botanical sharpness than London Dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGin Lane's version is a smooth, full-flavored gin with a softer, slightly sweeter profile: silky on the palate, with a sweet yet dry finish, and prominent notes of star anise, juniper and citrus. It is sweetened with refined sugarcane and smooth enough to sip on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts silky texture makes it an exceptional choice for rounding out classic cocktails like the Martinez or a refreshing Tom Collins, and it adds a gentle sweetness to a Negroni or a Gin Fizz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juniper, star anise, citrus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silky, softly sweet, juniper and anise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet yet dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thames Distillers, London\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Tom gin, Victorian style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweetness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly sweetened with refined sugarcane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStir a Martinez, mix a Tom Collins, or soften a Negroni with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Old Tom gin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA softer, slightly sweeter style that preceded London Dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does the name come from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack-cat 'Old Tom' plaques outside 18th-century London pubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat cocktails suit it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Martinez and the Tom Collins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gin\"\u003eGin collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gin Lane 1751","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68039697269045,"sku":"VWS200434585","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-31595.webp?v=1793834238","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/gin-lane-1751-old-tom-gin-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
