Aviation Old Tom Gin (75cl, 42%)

Aviation Old Tom Gin is a barrel-aged American gin from Portland, Oregon, bottled at 42% ABV. It uses a neutral grain spirit infused with eight botanicals, including cardamom, coriander, French lavender, anise seed, sarsaparilla, juniper and two orange zests, then steam distilled. It rests for one year in used American white oak casks that previously held Westward Whiskey, with no added sugar. The nose shows lavender, vanilla, citrus, juniper and oak warmth. The palate is soft, with caramel sweetness, baking spice, juniper, lavender and orange zest. The finish is medium, gently sweet, with oak warmth and baking spice.
