{"product_id":"aviation-old-tom-gin-batch-distilled","title":"Aviation Old Tom Gin Batch Distilled","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAviation Old Tom is American gin taken in an unexpected direction — batch distilled from the Aviation proprietary botanical recipe and then aged for at least one year in whiskey barrels, producing a gin with the full botanical character of the original alongside the vanilla, caramel, and oak complexity that extended barrel aging develops.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld Tom is a historical gin category — sweeter and more full-bodied than London Dry, originating in 18th-century England as the predecessor to modern gin styles. Aviation's interpretation applies this Old Tom concept to their American gin foundation, using barrel aging rather than sugar addition to achieve the Old Tom's traditionally rounder, more complex character. The minimum one-year whiskey barrel maturation adds genuine oak development — the amber color, vanilla, and caramel notes are the barrel's contribution, not added flavoring. The result bridges the categories: versatile enough to use as a standard gin in classic cocktails, sufficiently aged and oak-influenced to drink straight like a whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aviation's botanical foundation — lavender, cardamom, and citrus — with whiskey barrel vanilla and caramel adding warmth and complexity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied botanical character with the oak development of barrel aging; smooth, round, and more whiskey-adjacent than standard Aviation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and lingering — the barrel oak and botanicals persisting together through a clean close\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aviation American Gin, Portland, Oregon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel-Aged American Old Tom Gin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 1 year in whiskey barrels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Batch distilled\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42% (84 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gin\"\u003egin at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Old Tom gin?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Old Tom is a historical gin category originating in 18th-century England — traditionally sweeter and more full-bodied than London Dry.
