Description

A 50cl bottle of Ableforth's Bathtub Old Tom Gin, bottled at 42.4% ABV.

Old Tom was a sweeter predecessor of the London Dry style. Early gin was sweetened to hide harsh impurities. Folklore has it that Old Tom gin would be served through a hole in the wall under a wooden plaque of a black cat (hence the name). The customer would put a coin in the cat's mouth and receive a shot of gin through a tube between its paws.
