Hayman's Old Tom Gin Tasting note

By Miguel at 2012 Mar,23 in Tasting , Haymans

“Traditional gin with a powerful flavour. Interesting.”

70cl / 40% - New version of the old-style gin, Old Tom was a predecessor of the now-ubiquitous London Dry style. Early gin was sweetened to hide harsh impurities.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (75): average. juniper, floral, citrus, lemon zest.

Palate (83): light, powerful. juniper, sweet, citrus, floral.

Finish (75): short. floral, citrus.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Hayman's Old Tom Gin with 78 points over 100.
