Jensens Gin
[abv: 43%]
Jensen’s Old Tom is a faithful reproduction of an original recipe, taken from a handwritten distiller’s notebook and dating from the 1840s. It is unique on the modern day gin market in that it is unsweetened, and the distillery hold evidence that this is the most accurate recreation of the Old Toms that were being used in cocktail making in the 1800s. It’s a rooty, intensely complex spirit; a fantastic base for many a cocktail, as well as making a divine gin & tonic!
Botanical recipe:
Classic gin botanicals only, ten fold quantity of botanicals used. Heavy sway towards root and spice botanicals.
Nose:
Huge root hit; ample musk and spice; apparent sweetness on nose yet palate is dry.
Tasting notes:
Concentrated flavour tightly wound; opens up hugely when mixed.

Description
After lying dormant for decades, London’s craft gin scene is once again on the rise. It’s amazing to think that once upon a time, some 17,000 stills operated within the City of London, fuelling the city’s first gin craze. Today, there are but eleven licensed craft distilleries scattered across the city, from Battersea to Bermondsey and these represent the first new licensees since Beefeater in 1820! Jensen’s is one of these. Focusing on crafting small batches of authentic, 20th century style gin (and much earlier in the case of the Old Tom), the small team behind Jensen’s distillery are emblematic of the new breed of passionate, well versed distillers slowly rejuvenating the London Gin scene.
Housed in one of the Bermondsey railway arches, just behind London’s Maltby Street, everything about Jensen’s – from its 500 litre cap, custom built John Dore & Co column still, to its ‘lost recipe’ London gins – is built on authenticity.
