More information about Bad Penny
Called Bad Penny, Old Tom Gin is a very intense representative of its variety.
The interpretation of this style, created in the 18th century and very popular in the 19th century, is based on the assumption that at that time gin was sweetened with sugar, which was very popular as a modern luxury item. Often in this extremely drinkable period, the last penny (bad penny) was spent on a sip of gin.
Bad Penny gets its complex and intense aroma from 7 different botanicals. In addition to the fruity juniper, angelica with its spicy and earthy components plays an important role. A generous portion of sweet and bitter orange peel make this gin, refined with brown cane sugar, a wonderful partner for cocktails.
