Ransom Old Tom Gin - #7 of Best Old Tom Gin Labels

Ransom Old Tom Gin

Crafted through close attention to the historical process from which it was developed, Ransom Old Tom Gin is an award-winning effort that hearkens back to the 19th Century days of cocktails in the still-growing United States, long before the era of Prohibition Malted barley is mixed with high proof corn spirits that have been infused with just the right sample of botanicals. The distilling process takes place in a alembic still, attention to detail that shows that makers take this approach very seriously. The aroma of malted grain and juniper connect with aspects like citrus and coriander, which helps give the taste a sweet and malty mix. Due to the blending, there's only a mild sensation on the tongue, with a long finish that also incorporates such things as leather and tobacco. The aging process may delay this delight, but the wait seems worth it considering the delight it brings.
