Sound Spirits Old Tom Gin

Offering less juniper in a gin is something that sounds almost heretical, but Sound Spirits Old Tom Gin accomplishes this feat, helping provide those who imbibe this offering with a delightful twist on the everyday genre. Developing its alluring flavor and the noted hue comes as a result of resting in an oak barrel for one full month. That leads to a citrus-oriented aroma that helps balance out the otherwise sharper aspects involved. The palate is then engulfed in a smorgasbord of sweetness, with creams and spices angling for top billing. Caramel, vanilla and meringue all take hold at different points, but when it comes time for the finish, the juniper that's included arrives with a subtle flourish. While some may like their Old Tom Gin the same way every time, this adventurous offering is worthy of greater consideration. That's especially true when it comes to making cocktails.
