Barr Hill Tom Cat Reserve Barrel Aged Gin - 750ML
Barr Hill Tom Cat Reserve Barrel Aged Gin
Barr Hill Tom Cat Reserve Barrel Aged Gin is a modern-day adaptation of the classic Old Tom style, which was popular in 18th century London. This unique gin is made from raw honey, which is fermented and distilled with juniper berries, then aged for six months in new American oak barrels. The result is a smooth and complex gin that balances the robust character of the oak with the coniferous quality of the juniper and the floral sweetness of the honey. Barr Hill Tom Cat Reserve Barrel Aged Gin is perfect for sipping neat or mixing in cocktails, such as a Negroni or an Old Fashioned. It is a truly distinctive and delicious spirit that will delight any gin lover.
