Boatyard Old Tom Gin

Devon Marsh — Sweet but Slightly One-Note

7/10

The Old Tom sweetness at 41% is pleasant but I found the overall profile a bit simple. The sugar note dominates and the botanical complexity takes a back seat. Good but not exciting.

Aria Kim — Historic Style, Modern Quality

8/10

Old Tom gin is having a revival and Boatyard's version at 41% ABV is a worthy ambassador for the style. Gently sweet, properly botanical, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Olivia Park — Old Tom Done Right

9/10

This is how Old Tom gin should taste — softly sweet with a proper juniper backbone. At 41% Boatyard have created something that honours the historic style while feeling contemporary. Excellent.
