"Old Tom Gin is a botanically-intensive style of gin popular in the 18th Century and was the Gin of Choice in the 19th Century. Relative to London Dry Gin, the Old Tom style imparts a more complex and flavourful taste experience. With its distinctive profile the Old Tom style of gin is the key ingredient in classic cocktails such as the Martinez, Tom Collins and Ramos Gin Fizz. Hayman Distillers is the longest serving family owned gin distillery in England. Hayman’s Old Tom Gin is produced from an original recipe from the family archives." -- importer

Many of our customers have been upset with the "new formula" Noilly Prat Vermouth, they sweetened the recipe. We have found another great French Vermouth that is DRY!
Dolin Dry Vermouth....$12.99 / 750ml
"Made to the same set of recipes since 1821,
Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry has long been the benchmark for fine French Vermouth. Made with fine wines of the region and botanicals found in the Alpine meadows above Chambéry, together they impart a fresh and elegant nose, with a subtle and complex palate. Ideal as an aperitif or in cocktails. In the late 19th century, Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry won medals in Paris, London, St. Louis and Philadelphia and in 1932 earned Chambéry France's only Appellation d’ Origine for Vermouth." -- importerBatavia Arrack VAn Oosten....$28.99 / 750ml
"It is a taste that has traveled the world from the Dutch East Indies, unique for its
ability to both add depth and lift the aromas of citrus and chocolate. From the late 17th to 19th century, in an age when “Punch” was a celebration of all things then exotic – citrus, sugar, and spice, no Punch was without a true Batavia Arrack. In pre-Prohibition America, Batavia Arrack and most notably the Swedish Punsch were essential to many now-classic cocktails. Beyond these uses, Batavia Arrack is also today found in boutique European chocolates and cocktails at Bali resorts. Product of Indonesia and Netherlands. 50% Alc./Vol." -- importerNo Relation or Similarity to Lebenese or Sri Lanka Arak
