Langley's Old Tom Gin

While Langley's distillery has a long pedigree in the gin world, having been distilling for more than 100 years, it's only more recently that they have leant their name to one of the spirits they produce.

Langley's Old Tom is the first new product since the launch three years ago of the acclaimed and multiple award-winning Langley's No.8 gin. Old Tom is a style originally popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Old Tom offers a more intense yet slightly sweeter taste than a classic London Dry Gin.

Style

Key Botanicals

Tasting Notes

Nose: Nutmeg appears first (surprising for an Old Tom gin!), shortly followed by juicy tangerine and a crackle of juniper.

Palate: More orange sweetness on the palate, plus a hint of honey. Still has a good backbone of juniper and warming spices.

Finish: Spearmint and leafy coriander.

Perfect Serve

Tom Collins/Martinez cocktail. Light/Sicilian lemon tonic garnished with lemon & orange slices.
