Reviews

• 'Arguably one of the best gins in the world regardless of genre - York Old Tom is a must try, must taste, must have offering.' - Spirits Kiosk
• It's an unmissable gin in a sea of gin. It's so good there's not enough superlatives to do it justice.' - Spirits Kiosk
• 'A delightfully elegant and complex nose of juniper, spice, and flower blossom. On the palate, juniper is at the fore, before a exceptionally well-integrated liquorice sweetness that lingers on the finish and leaves you wanting another sip.' - International Wine & Spirit Competition
• 'Absolutely love York Gin's Old Tom - this one is a beaut.' - Susy Atkins, Sunday Telegraph
