Greenhook Ginsmiths Old Tom Gin is a bold and crisp gin born in the heart of Brooklyn. The gin is made from a backbone of pot-distilled grains, which are distilled with juniper and other exotic spices inspired by the British spice trade that prevailed during the 18th century. After the gin has been distilled, it is matured for 12 months in casks that were previously used to mature bourbon. Then, master distiller Steven DeAngelo finishes the gin in ex-Oloroso Sherry butts before bringing it to 100.1 proof, where it is bottled.

Distillery Information
We produce our gin in a custom-made 300-liter Copper Pot Still specifically engineered to work under a vacuum, which removes air pressure from the still. This unique distillation technique allows us to distill our gin at temperatures dramatically lower than ordinary stills—preventing the delicate aromas of our botanicals from becoming stewed by excessive heat. What we end up with is a lively and aromatic spirit that perfectly balances juniper with equal notes of herbal, floral and citrus.
