Scofflaw Old Tom Gin in a Nutshell

Scofflaw Old Tom Gin is a delightful nod to the past, using a late 19th-century recipe that results in a subtly sweeter, more botanically complex profile than a London Dry. This makes it incredibly versatile, shining in classic cocktails like the Martinez or Tom Collins, and a fascinating addition to any home bar looking beyond the usual craft spirits.

Anders' Take on Scofflaw Old Tom Gin

"I love Scofflaw Old Tom Gin. It's has a classic Old Tom sweetness, but with a nice brightness of orange peel. It works perfectly in classic cocktails like the Martinez or a Tom Collins. Definitely a good one to have on hand."

Let's Answer Your Questions About Scofflaw Old Tom Gin

Where is Scofflaw Old Tom Gin from?

Scofflaw Old Tom Gin emerged from a collaboration between the gin-focused Chicago bar, Scofflaw, and North Shore Distillery in Lake Bluff, Illinois, officially releasing in early 2013. This isn't an old classic rediscovered, but rather a contemporary take on the historical Old Tom style, which is traditionally a bit sweeter and rounder than a London Dry. North Shore Distillery, known for its distinctive gins, worked with Scofflaw to create this spirit specifically for cocktails, resulting in a higher proof (90 proof) gin featuring botanicals like juniper, citrus peels, and uniquely, osmanthus blossoms for a distinct floral note. The name "Scofflaw" itself is a nod to those who disregarded liquor laws during Prohibition, reflecting a somewhat rebellious and independent spirit.

How should I use Scofflaw Old Tom Gin?

Scofflaw Old Tom Gin presents classic juniper, orange peel, and coriander, rounded out by a uniquely smooth, subtly sweet, and floral finish from osmanthus blossoms. Its rich texture shines in historic cocktails like the Martinez or a Tom Collins, bringing a delightful complexity and sippable quality to your home bar creations.

What does Scofflaw Old Tom Gin taste like?

Scofflaw Old Tom Gin opens with a sweet botanical whisper, think candied lemon peel and a hint of pine. The palate is round and gently sweet, juniper giving way to soft spice and a whisper of licorice, before a clean, lingering citrusy finish.
