Persie Old Tom Gin
Details
Our Scottish Gin shelves are expanding all the time, another new addition to the shelf - Persie Old Tom Gin.
The result is Persie Gin: three distinct styles of aromatic gin created and distilled in the former Persie Hotel at the foot of Glenshee in Perthshire.
Hand-made in small batches in a bespoke, 230-litre copper pot still, the gin is distilled with pure glen water from the local hills. Each gin uses carefully chosen botanicals to evoke an emotive and comforting scent: sharp citrus for the fruity gin; fresh herbs for the savoury gin; and almonds and vanilla pods for the sweet gin.
Nose - Day trips with vanilla ice cream, butterscotch sauce and almonds.
Mix it - Try this after dinner instead of a liqueur. We like to stack the glass with ice, pour over the gin and hear it crack. Or if you’re a good mixer who likes a good mixer, add a splash of ginger ale for a perfect digestif.
Glug it - A creamy, full-bodied gin, with a nutty gingerbread finish.
Work it - We like to keep this virgin. But if you’re feeling decadent, reach for the root ginger.
