Bathtub Old Tom Gin Small Batch 50 cl 42,4%

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.
