First Impressions
Silverback Old Tom uses the same seven botanicals as the Mountain Strength but at higher levels, delicately sweetened with sugar. £1 from every bottle goes to The Gorilla Organization for gorilla conservation. IWSC Silver Outstanding Medal.
Tasting
The nose is piney juniper with cracked black pepper and floral notes. On the palate, lightly sweet with assertive pepper and chili spice, black tea and violet. The finish lingers with juniper, tea, violet and peppery warmth.
The Bottom Line
Silverback Old Tom earns a 7 for an Old Tom with conservation purpose. The black tea and amplified pepper are distinctive, and the IWSC Silver Outstanding confirms quality. Every bottle directly supports gorilla conservation.
