Makar Old Tom Gin is the reinvention of a traditional classic. Old Tom recreates a sweeter style of gin, which in recent times has enjoyed a renaissance after falling out of favour with the gin elite. Complementing the bold juniper of Makar Original Gin, Old Tom infuses orange peel, almonds and a small injection of honey into its distilling process. The result is an exceptionally well balanced, complex and rewarding Old Tom Gin, sweeter on the palate than the popular London dry style.
Tasting Notes
Flavours
Nose
Juniper opens up the nose before delicate floral notes lead to sweet honey and the delicate aroma of freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Taste
Liquorice, honey almond marzipan are balanced by herbaceous coriander with a black pepper spice.
Finish
Dry, crisp with a subtle lingering sweetness.
How to enjoy this gin
This best served as an Old Tom Collins, with lemon wheel, lemon juice, sugar, soda water and ice. Or for a traditional gin and tonic, simply add tonic and a slice of citrus over ice.
About Makar
Glasgow was once home to hundreds of distilleries until the Depression and Prohibition led to their closure. As the first distillery in Glasgow for 100 years, The Glasgow Distillery Company is creating a new chapter in the city’s history of producing and distilling spirits. Founded in 2014 and drawing on the pioneering spirit of Scotland’s first licensed distillers, The Glasgow Distillery Company takes its name from one of Glasgow’s original distilleries. Founded at Dundashill in 1770, the distillery was known, for a time, as The Glasgow Distillery Company and remained active until the beginning of the 20th Century.
Production
The Glasgow Distillery Company, the first distillery in Glasgow for over 100 years, is located close to the River Clyde, which was once the heartbeat of Glasgow’s industrial heartland. The distillery now houses five copper stills, but Annie is ultimately responsible for production of Makar Glasgow Gin. The distillery produces a range of spirits including gin, whisky and vodka. A true working distillery, the building is abuzz with activity as the team of distillers continue to make and develop a range of award-winning spirits.
