- Description
- Robert Burnett's Old Tom gin dates to a 1770 heritage, when this slightly sweetened style dominated London's underground gin culture before the craft's mainstream revival. Bottled in the 1940s at 46% ABV, it captures a historical expression of pre-Prohibition cocktail gin tradition. A rarity for spirits historians and those exploring gin's pre-modern dry style era.
