Distilled from corn and finished with raw honey, this barrel-aged bottling is billed as a 'modern day adaptation of Old Tom Gin,' a sweetened style. It has a burnished rose gold hue and the scent mingles honey and juniper. It's slightly sweet up front, with brisk pininess midpalate before it fades into vanilla and a surprising brush of peach.

K&L Notes
The Tom Cat Gin is one of the best barrel aged gins we have ever carried. The gin is pure, elegant, and focused. Made with a single botanical - juniper - and finished with raw honey from the hardworking bees of Vermont. The gin is aged for six months in new American oak. The quality of the oak is spectacular. Each barrel is used only once and imparts delicate vanilla, clove, and cinnamon notes to the gin which complement the smooth and full mouthfeel. Perfect for a golden martini or sub it in for the vodka in your next Moscow Mule.
