Hernö Old Tom Gin
Hernö Old Tom Gin is made from the same base as Hernö Dry Gin, but the botanical blend is enriched during distillation with the flower of the Sweet Gale. After dilution to 43%, a pinch of sugar is added. The sweetness elevates the floral notes, releases the juniper, and makes the gin even smoother.
The organic Old Tom Gin is of exceptional quality with an excellent taste and simple Swedish design, originating from the 18th century when gin was banned. The black wooden cat placed above the bar indicated that the establishment served illegal drinks. Legend has it that when the cat had a penny in its mouth, gin was served through a hidden tube in one of its paws.
