— Perfect for a Martinez
Jensen's Old Tom was born for a Martinez cocktail. The malty sweetness, liquorice depth, and resinous juniper at 43% play beautifully with sweet vermouth and maraschino. The ideal historic cocktail gin.

— Victorian London in a Glass
Drinking Jensen's Old Tom is like stepping back in time. The barley sugar sweetness, medicinal herbal notes, and rich juniper evoke a London gin palace. At 43% it's smooth and full of character.

— Liquorice Root Depth
The liquorice root adds a gorgeous herbal bitterness that counterbalances the malty sweetness perfectly. The resinous juniper cuts through, the orris root adds florals, and at 43% ABV the finish is pleasantly bittersweet.
