Zuidam Dutch Courage Aged Old Tom Gin 70 cl

Old Tom Gin made by Zuidam Distillers and aged in new American oak barrels for a short time to add some sweetness and soft, spiced, oaky flavours Spicy and complex, with cardamom, vanilla and juniper. Slightly sweet and velvety on the palate with an elegant finish wth lingering soft oak Fantastic as a sipping gin, mixed with ginger ale or in cocktails Try a Martinez cocktail with equal parts Dutch Courage Old Tom's Gin and sweet vermouth, a dash of Maraschino liqueur and dashes of aromatic bitters to taste. Stir over ice and strain into cocktail glass Old Tom Gin was one of the first types of gin to emerge and is the missing link between Dutch Genever and modern dry gin. This style of gin is typically a bit richer, more aromatic, and slightly sweeter than dry gin Named after the term spawned from Dutch soldiers giving English soldiers a tot of Genever before going into battle in the 30 years war
