Old Tom Gin
“Only a handful of distilleries in the world produce a barrel-aged gin like our Liberator Old Tom Gin. We’re proud to make this special spirit the old-fashioned way, right here in Detroit”
— Rifino Valentine
Barrel-Aged for Two Years
the spiritual grandfather of our Liberator Gin – aged and mellowed out for a complex, earthy character.
Our Old Tom Gin is made from a blend of nine unique botanicals, including juniper, orange peel, and cardamon. It is then aged in New American Oak barrels for two years, allowing the flavors to mature. We proudly embrace the 18th-century tradition of pot-distillation and transportation in oak barrels, which mellows the distillate, adds color, and enhances flavor.
Bottled at 45.2% ABV / 90.4 proof
How it’s Made
We take our Liberator Gin and age it in American Oak barrels for two years, allowing the blend of ten unique botanicals to develop, interact, and mature. Valentine Distilling embraces the historic pot-distillation process and replicates the traditional method of transportation in oak barrels, which softens the distillate and adds color and deep flavor. It’s worth the wait.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of juniper and pine well-balanced by hints of oak, woody spices, and citrus peel. The initial bursts of juniper berries are mellow and tame, and are followed by touches of vanilla, citrus, cardamom, and cinnamon with a medium-long finish.
