Jensen Old Tom Gin

Almost entirely lost to history for over a century, Old Tom gin has recently made a modest but enthusiastic comeback. Compared to London dry gin, Old Tom is somewhat sweeter and smoother. It typically has a more viscous texture and a milder juniper flavor. Jensen Old Tom Gin is heavily focused on historical accuracy. It was created using a recipe from the 1840s. Jensen's take on the classic spirit is less sweet than most other modern versions. While it is still a bit sweeter than a London dry, it features no added sugar. The distillers at Jensen contend that this is the most historically accurate approach, though the issues is still debated by spirit enthusiasts and historians. Jensen Old Tom Gin's balanced character makes it a wonderful choice for an outstanding classic Martini.
