What is Ransom Old Tom Gin?
Ransom Old Tom Gin stands out for its unique barrel-aging process, which imparts a rich, amber color and subtle oak notes to the traditional juniper-forward profile. Interestingly, the recipe for this gin was developed in collaboration with cocktail historian David Wondrich, who based it on a late 1800s recipe, making it a true revival of a classic American spirit.
Why do we love Ransom Old Tom Gin?
Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Ransom Old Tom Gin for its distinctive flavor profile that bridges the gap between modern dry gins and sweeter genever-style spirits. This Oregon-made gin stands out for its use of malted barley in the base spirit and a brief barrel aging process, resulting in a complex, slightly sweet gin with notes of juniper, citrus, and subtle oak that shines in classic cocktails like the Martinez or Tom Collins.
How do you drink Ransom Old Tom Gin?
Ransom Old Tom Gin shines in classic gin-forward cocktails, where its malty sweetness and botanicals can take center stage, but it's also delightful sipped neat or with a single ice cube to appreciate its complexity. This versatile spirit is perfect for cozy autumn evenings, pairing wonderfully with hearty dishes like roasted game or rich, creamy cheeses that complement its robust character.

Nose: Juniper-forward with prominent notes of citrus peel and coriander. Underlying hints of malted barley and honey add warmth and complexity. A subtle woodiness from barrel aging rounds out the aroma.
Palate: Smooth and full-bodied. Initial burst of juniper and citrus, followed by warm spices like cardamom and cinnamon. The malted barley base contributes a slight sweetness, reminiscent of graham crackers. Subtle notes of dried herbs and a touch of anise emerge mid-palate.
Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades, leaving a pleasant dryness. Lingering notes of juniper, citrus zest, and a gentle oak character. A mild peppery spice provides a final kick, inviting the next sip.
Ransom Old Tom Gin is crafted using a unique two-step process that combines pot-distilled corn spirits with a gin base made from malted barley. After distillation, the gin is aged for 3-6 months in wine barrels, imparting a subtle golden hue and adding complexity to its flavor profile.
