This gin is made using the same process as a London Dry, but with a unique twist. Unlike other Old Toms, Gindome's version contains no added sugar. Instead, the sweetness comes from the use of almonds, which also lend a smooth and soft texture to the gin. This gin is perfect for those who want a sweeter profile without the added sugar.

Story behind

Gindome's Old Tom pays homage to gin history and is inspired by the period referred to as the gin craze. At this time gin got so popular that The British government attempted to curb gins rampant sale by heavily taxing it. This drove the gin industry underground away from the prying eyes of the law. In order to let gin-lovers, know where they could get their hands on some gin, black wooden cats, known as Old Toms, were mounted on the outside walls of the establishments still selling gin. Under the paw of the cat was a money slot that people would use to shoot their cash down in a lead tube and in return, a shot of gin was poured by the bartender.
