The Expert's Description

The name Old But New points to a tonic built on a classic approach to tonic water, but with natural aromas that give it a modern edge. It is made to accompany Spanish, citrus- and herb-forward gins, but also works well alongside other styles of Gin.

Tasting Notes

The Tasting Experience

The flavour opens with a clean, balanced quinine bitterness that is less sharp than a classic British tonic. Natural aromas add a hint of citrus and herbs in the background, giving the tonic a round, easy-drinking character rather than a hard, medicinal one.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

Serve cold in a tall glass with plenty of ice. This tonic is built for the Spanish serving style, with a generous ratio of tonic to gin so the botanicals of the gin have room to unfold. Choose a citrus- or herb-driven gin for the best match.
