Rhubarb Old Tom
The Story
Rhubarb has long been celebrated in Orkney, with recipes passed down through generations of Orcadians over the years. We love to use traditional methods and
ingredients from times past.
'Old Tom' is a style of gin, dating back to the 18th century, where the gin would be lightly sweetened, to give a smoother finish. We realised this traditional method would allow the tart rhubarb we were picking for each batch to shine to its full potential,
