Hernö Old Tom Gin is made from the same distilled gin as Hernö Gin, but with an extra amount of Meadowsweet added in the distillation and after diluting it down to 43%, a touch of sugar is added. This sweetening lifts the floral notes, releases an array of juniper notes and makes the gin even smoother. If you continue without changing your cookies settings, we’ll assume you’re happy with the use of all cookies on our site. The slight tweak to the Old Tom recipe from the London Dry and Navy gins is that there is more meadowsweet used for the Old Tom, and of course, added sweetness post-distillation.Fever-Tree Mediterranean was my favourite pairing but it’s my go-to tonic for most gins, so probably some bias there, on my part.
