Robert Burnett Old Tom Gin / Bot.1947

Aria Kim — Interesting Historical Piece

7/10

While I appreciate the historical significance, the flavour profile has softened over the decades. The Old Tom sweetness is pleasant but the botanical intensity has faded somewhat. More of a curiosity than a daily drinker.

9/10

For a spirit bottled nearly 80 years ago, this Robert Burnett Old Tom is in astonishing condition. The classic sweetened gin profile comes through beautifully, and the 45.6% ABV gives it real backbone.

9/10

Tasting a 1947 bottling of Robert Burnett Old Tom is a genuine privilege. The sweetness typical of Old Tom style is beautifully restrained, and at 45.6% the spirit has held up remarkably well.
