SAPOR Old Tom Gin

ABV 41% ALC

Crafted with care, aged in oak, made to be savoured with flavours to be remembered. Our aged Old Tom Gin is smooth yet full of character, drawing its mellow sweetness from ancient fruits and warming spices, and then rested in fortified wine barrels for a golden finish. SAPOR retains the signature juniper character of gin and is complemented by the warm, sweet and woody notes from the barrel.

The Old Tom style of gin is characterised by a slightly sweeter profile, bridging the gap between the London Dry style and the malty Dutch Genever style. The aging in oak barrels then also imparts additional sweet plus woody notes. This aged Old Tom provides a crossover for whisky drinkers to further appreciate gin.

ENJOY IT YOUR WAY - SERVING SUGGESTIONS

SIGNATURE SERVING
SAPOR is timeless and crafted to be savoured, as the name suggests. Sip neat over ice, mix your way, or let it shine in a cocktail creation. It’s rich enough that you can do simple things with it, but dynamic enough to have with it.

Signature serve:
1 part Sapor to 3 parts light ginger ale (such Fever-Tree Dry Ginger Ale). On ice with a wedge of fresh orange.
Teamed with a light ginger-ale the subtle floral notes of the grapefruit and lavender are heightened to make it a softer, more mellow drink.

Tasting Notes

"Sweet citrus + spice flavours aged in oak to be savoured"

Appearance: Clean, golden amber that shines. Aroma: Spicy pine forest and orange zest nose with aromas of eucalyptus, cardamom and cinnamon. The juniper has been mellowed by the sweeter, rounder citrus and earthy notes from angelica and barley. Taste: A dry, huge but balanced palate delivers the flavours present in the nose but also with more baking and wood spices warming and coming to the fore. A gentle, noticeable caramel sweetness is imparted by dates, also providing a rounder, more viscous mouthfeel. Finish: Medium to long, with lingering notes of sweet spice, caramel with distinct woody, smoky and dry orange zest finish.
