Tasting Notes

Nose

Bold aromatics — the 24 botanicals with enhanced grapefruit citrus, garden herbs prominent

Palate

Delicate citrus with lemon verbena — grapefruit base with Yorkshire liquorice root adding sweet smooth finish, herbaceous sweetness from sweet cicely with jasmine-green tea undertones

Finish

Sweet and smooth from Yorkshire liquorice — the Old Tom sweetness feeling natural from the botanical choice rather than added sugar

First Impressions

Slingsby Old Tom uses the same garden-to-glass approach with Yorkshire liquorice root providing natural sweetness alongside lemon verbena. The 24-botanical base ensures complexity, and the Old Tom style suits the herbaceous character.

Tasting

The nose is bold with garden aromatics and grapefruit. On the palate, delicate lemon verbena citrus with liquorice sweetness and herbaceous sweet cicely. The finish is sweet and smooth.

The Bottom Line

Slingsby Old Tom earns a 7 for Yorkshire liquorice giving natural Old Tom sweetness. The 24-botanical complexity translates well to the sweetened style, and the lemon verbena adds citrus brightness. Serve with grapefruit and blueberries.
