What the Distillery Says

Tom Cat Gin is an expedition into uncharted territories. Once distilled, we age the gin in new American oak barrels in search of a bolder expression. The robust character of the new oak barrel mingles with the coniferous quality of the juniper, yielding an enticing aroma. A touch of raw honey leaves this revolutionary spirit remarkably approachable, whether drinking neat or in a cocktail. When the world called for whiskey, we answered resolutely with gin.

What Gary Says

DISCLAIMER: I’m a whisk(e)y enthusiast, and not familiar with Gin (so read at your own risk!)
Nose:  Honey, soft pepper, oak, lime, subtle juniper.
Palate:  Thick mouthfeel, raw honey, caramel, pine, pepper and clove.
Finish:  Moderately long with honey.
Comments:  Of the three gin samples, this was by far the sweetest, although not very complex. As a bourbon fan though, I did enjoy the sweetness and parallels.
