K‑Ola Old Tom (Botanic Cola Old Tom Gin Elixir)
A velvety, arcane elixir for those with a curious palate and a fondness for flavours touched by time. K‑Ola Old Tom is a tribute to bygone apothecaries and creative concoctions - crafted entirely in our Burray distillery using our award-winning Sule Skerry Gin as its base. To this, we add our own homemade, all-natural cola syrup: a lovingly created infusion of roots, citrus, and warming botanicals.
This is not the cola you knew in your youth. K‑Ola is its grown-up cousin - layered, intriguing, and entirely unexpected. Subtly sweet, rich in character, and grounded in tradition, it invites you to taste a tale rather than just a tipple.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Nostalgic hints of caramelised cola, mellow citrus, Madagascan vanilla bean, and a soft earthiness - like the scent of an old herbal apothecary.
- Palate: Smooth and rounded with an almost rich caramel and umami depth, layered with botanical cola, bright citrus, and warming, familiar roots. Subtle sweetness gives way to the grounding touch of juniper, ever-present but never overpowering.
- Finish: Long and mellow, with softened vanilla and cinnamon, dry herbal complexity, and the faint echo of citrus peel.

Reviews
They’ve done it again! Another super tasty gin. I couldn’t resist trying K-Ola and I haven’t been disappointed. It has a subtle but very distinct cola flavour and is lovely with a plain tonic. Johnsmas is one of my all time favourite gins, but this follows closely behind. I will definitely buy it again!
Tried Orkney Gin K-Öka and honestly, it was so nice. Really smooth, easy to drink, and full of flavour without being too strong or overpowering. It tastes great with a simple tonic and doesn’t need much else. Definitely one I’d buy again and happily recommend.
Subtle flavours enhance this gin. Undertones of Cola, but never strong. You have to try it to believe it!
