A gin made in honour or a Bristolian legend of old, Thomas Cribb. Tom Cribb was a bareknuckle fighter, born on the outskirts of Bristol in 1781. From humble beginnings, Tom fought his way to stradom, gaining suooprt from the masses and friendship of the famous. In keeping with the 18th and 19th century theme, this gin is based on a Victorian production style and uses a collectione of classic botanicals to add flavour- juniper, wormwood, liquorice; hyssop, bay leaf and birch leaf. This Upper Cut gin is a navy strangth "Old Tom" style of gin, meaning that it has been slightly sweetended after the distillation process. During the 18th & 19th Century, gin production often included ingredients to sweeten the spirit. The sweetening made the gins more akin to the Dutch style but was also used by some to mask dubious production practices. Regardless of the reason, the Old Tom style of gin was incredibly popula among the drinking classes but has since fallen out of popularity.
