## Description

"50cl / 42.4% - Professor Cornelius Ampleforth has been at it again, and this time he?s recreated a traditional style of gin that was very popular in 18th and 19th century England. Old Tom is a slightly sweetened gin, created by the professor following a request from The Handmade Cocktail Company, which needed a tasty Old Tom gin for use in their Martinez cocktail. Old Tom got its name from an unusual dispensing method used by London gin houses. A tom cat-shaped plaque would be hung outside where passers-by could drop a coin in the animal?s mouth. The proprietor would then dispense a shot of gin from a tube under the cat?s paws. This almost-forgotten style of gin is perfect in sweet gin cocktails ? it?s how the classic Tom Collins got its name ? and makes a tasty G&T."
