“Sky Wave Old Tom Gin has been awarded as a Winner in the Old Tom Gin category of The Gin Guide Awards 2024. The Judges were impressed by the light and citrusy aroma, the balance of sweetness with drier notes and citrus, and the full-bodied mouthfeel. Individual Judge’s comments included describing Sky Wave Old Tom Gin as ‘coating the tongue pleasingly with a honeyed sweetness’ and having ‘a lovely combination and balance of flavours’, supporting the gin’s score being in the ‘Exceptional’ score range.” – The Gin Guide Awards 2024
Old Tom is a very old style of English gin, dating back to the 17th Century. Production techniques and ingredients were often very poor, resulting in a rough-tasting drink. It was therefore sweetened slightly, and sometimes lightly spiced, to make it palatable, as it would usually have been drunk neat. This often resulted in a spirit that was no longer clear.
Sky Wave has been faithful to this style, creating an exquisitely crafted historic gin brought up to date for the discerning 21st century drinker.
Available in 700ml bottles only, 41%ABV.
