Ransom Old Tom Gin

Ransom Old Tom Gin is a historically accurate revival of the gin that ruled the mid-1800s and the golden age of American cocktails. Developed in collaboration with historian, author, and mixologist David Wondrich, it was the first domestic Old Tom Gin released since Prohibition — a pioneer of the 21st-century renaissance of Old Tom and barrel-aged gins.

Tasting Notes

• Seductive aromatics of juniper berries and coastal forest, set off by apothecary spice notes of cardamom and angelica
• Rich, silky palate with malt flavors punctuated by lively citrus zest and heady exotic notes of coriander and teak
• Supple and powerful, with the warmth of the malt carrying clean, focused botanicals on a long, elegant finish

Its subtle maltiness comes from a base wort of malted barley combined with an infusion of botanicals in high-proof corn spirits. The final distillation runs through an alembic pot still to preserve maximum aromatics, flavor, and body — and only the "heart of the hearts," the very best portion of the distillate, is retained. The gin for mixing classic pre-Prohibition cocktails.
