Nose
Fruity and sweet with pronounced botanicals — warming sweet spice with remarkable depth, liquorice root sweetness
Palate
Thick almost syrupy full of sweet spice — cinnamon and cardamom, added sweetness bringing out citrus and juniper, superbly well-balanced orange-cinnamon-clove combination
Finish
Long lasting with a hint of pepper — the sweetened compound style at its most satisfying
Expert Review
8/10Almost the very definition of Old Tom style — thick, syrupy, full of sweet spice with cinnamon and cardamom. The added sweetness brings out citrus and juniper. Gold Medal winner.
