Bathtub Gin

During American Prohibition, many desperate home distillers lacked proper equipment and resorted to whatever was at hand, including the bathtub itself. Bathtub Gin carries that honest, almost self-deprecating name forward as a tribute to this improvised, homemade tradition. Today it isn't actually made in a bathtub, but through a cold-compounding method that deliberately skips the subsequent distillation of botanicals.

    Item no.: 2222786539-1350

    For those who find a classic dry gin too sharp, Ableforth's offers this gentler Old Tom expression, where orange's round sweetness takes the edge off the juniper.

    Expert's description

    Bathtub Old Tom Gin Small Batch is an English Old Tom Gin from Ableforth's and bottled at 42.4%.

    Like the rest of the brand's gins, this one is cold-compounded with botanicals rather than heat-distilled, with orange and juniper forming the core of the recipe.

    The gentle sweetness makes it a fitting choice for those who prefer a sweeter style of Gin & Tonic, and a splash of lemon juice can freshen the drink further.

    The Old Tom style is historically a bridge between sweet genever and dry London Dry Gin, and the Bathtub expression stays true to this gentler, more approachable tradition.

  • Bottle of Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Bathtub Sloe Gin from England
    Item no.: 2222786539-1270

    The name Bathtub is an affectionate nod to Prohibition-era home distilling, where gin was infused with botanicals in private bathtubs, a technique this English gin recreates with respect for the craft.

    Expert's description

    Bathtub Sloe Gin Small Batch is an English gin under the Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's label, infused with sloe berries and bottled at 33.8%.

    The gin is based on a fine copper pot-still spirit that is cold-compounded with botanicals such as juniper, orange peel, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom and clove, a traditional method where the ingredients steep without heating.

    Sloe berries are added to give the gin its characteristic sweetness and berry-filled profile, and the long steeping period, controlled entirely by periodic sampling, gives the gin a faint yellow hue.

    The spirit is produced in ultra-small batches by Ableforth's, formerly known as Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's, in Kent in southeast England.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose is berry-like and tart with a hint of spice.

    Palate

    The palate is sweet and full-bodied with clear sloe berry, backed by juniper and cinnamon.

    Finish

    The finish is gentle and berry-filled.

About Bathtub Gin

Bathtub Gin is an English gin from Ableforth's, made using a cold-compounding method and named after Prohibition-era improvised home gin.

History & Background

The name Bathtub Gin refers directly to American Prohibition, when homemade gin was occasionally mixed in bathtubs by desperate home distillers lacking proper distillation equipment. While the name is a fond, almost self-deprecating tribute to this improvised past, the modern Bathtub Gin from English house Ableforth's is a far more considered affair. The gin is made through cold compounding of juniper, cardamom, orange peel, and cloves, a method that deliberately skips the subsequent distillation many other gins undergo. The result is a rich, spicy gin that insists on holding onto its rustic, homemade origin story, even as production is in reality far more refined.

Production & Style

The gin is made by cold-compounding juniper, cardamom, orange peel and cloves without subsequent redistillation of the botanicals.

Signature Style

Spiced, Full-Bodied, Aromatic
The taste offers a full-bodied, spiced character with clear cardamom and clove notes.
