Boatyard Old Tom (70cl)

An Old Tom gin from Boatyard Distillery, on the shores of Lough Erne in Northern Ireland. It is made from a base of grain alcohol with botanicals including juniper berries, coriander seeds, liquorice, angelica root and citrus. The gin ages in casks previously used for Pedro Ximénez wine, and Pedro Ximénez is added at the end, giving it a dark colour and soft aromatic richness. On the nose it offers rich, intense notes of dried fruit, sultana, citrus peel and caramel. On the palate it is velvety and harmonious, with good complexity and breadth, leading to a deep, soft and very persistent finish.
