An Old Tom that's been sweetened with delicious Canadian icewine rather than sugar! Icewine really is one of the best things. It's made with grapes that are frozen on the vine and then pressed whilst still frozen - this leaves the water behind as ice whilst a rich, sweet juice is collected to produce this awesome decadent dessert wine.
Here That Boutique-y Gin Company have combined icewine with a quality pot still gin made with botanicals such as juniper, lemon and lime peels, and liquorice. Like any great Old Tom, it still works a mean Tom Collins too!
Batch 1 is a release of 275 bottles.
Instantly rich and unlike other sweetened gins. The juniper is still there with lemon zest and curd alongside honeysuckle, tinned peaches and treacle tart.
Thick, honeyed and rich with hints of lime. Huge and decadent.
Long with notes of lychee and marmalade.

I don't think I can find the words to describe the taste. I persevered for a little while but it really was just awful for me and down the sink it went. A first for me, love gin, particularly old Tom but this was just totally unpalatable. So glad I only bought the taster and had more gin to eradicate the taste from my mind and taste buds.
This gin makes a perfect, exquisitely smooth Negroni. Incredible with an additional dash of bitters. My new favourite drink.
As an old tom this is definitely one of the best reccomend to all gin lovers
I was excited for an old Tom gin but there is none of the comforting sweetness I've found on Drury lane. Not familiar with Ice wine there is a lot going on here. Sort of like sherry poured over a christmas pud with an aftertaste of mildewy thyme. Over ice it gets better. Diluted in a tonic it isn't half bad. Don't expect an old tom but it is quaffable.
I tasted this gin and can tell you it makes a very nice gin with tonic and lime; delicious
