Based on an older style of gin, Ableforth's Bathtub Old Tom is a delicious historical throwback.
Bathtub Gin Old Tom is a slightly sweetened variation on the original Bathtub Gin.
Old Tom gin gets its name from the way it used to be served by the London gin houses back in the 18th century—you’d put a coin into a dispenser in the shape of a black cat outside the gin house and out would come a shot!
Magical stuff that still lives on in the sketched cat on the Bathtub Gin Old Tom label!
As part of the Ableforth’s Bathtub Gin family, Bathtub Gin Old Tom is true to the old-time recipe, and perfect for mixing up into sweet gin cocktails—most notably the Martinez.
Bring together Bathtub Gin Old Tom with some sweet vermouth, maraschino liqueur, Angostura bitters, and a bit of lemon for show, and you may find yourself falling for this classic cocktail that may have paved the way for today’s traditional martini.
Nose: A sweet and fruity nose with prominent citrus notes throughout.
Palate: Sweet, light and delicate. The palate features stunning juniper and yet more citrus tones continuing from the nose.
Finish: Fresh and clean with an extra something else from pepper hints.
