About this deal

Original Bathtub Gin, compound, and cold compounded gin all mean the same: A gin flavored with botanicals macerated in a neutral grain spirit or by adding essences and extracts.

The ingredients and flavors come together nicely, and if it wouldn't state so prominently that this is a Bathtub Gin, you probably would not notice. The idea behind aging the gin is that we wanted to re-create what would have happened 150 years ago,” Seestedt said. “Generally, spirits weren’t immediately bottled like they are today. Any time the gin would have been shipped it would have been kept in cooperage for some amount of time.” PROVENANCE - Provenance in our products is key to flavour. At Boatyard we only use organically sourced ingredients such as the juniper in our gin that comes from Arezzo in Tuscany. We also use local Fermanagh honey for natural sweetness. Before the prohibition, gin was a popular spirit in America, preferred mainly by the upper class. It was consumed more than vodka and rum. After the ban took effect, gin became scarce and was no longer available. However, there was still a demand for it. And so, bootleggers, who were also called speakeasies at that time, met the demand by producing a drink that approximated gin infusing cheap grain alcohol with juniper berries as flavoring.Whether the spirit was infused in a bathtub or not, bathtubs were involved at one point. There's no way that people produced the actual base spirit in bathtubs, however, it's likely that they used bathtubs to infuse a spirit with juniper berries and other fragrant botanicals.

The difference between Bathtub Gin and Gin is that for making Bathtub Gin, you add the botanicals to an already distilled spirit. For traditional gin, the infusion of botanicals happens during distillation. This base blend combines the three must-have ingredients of the bathtub gin. It included juniper berries, coriander seed, and angelica root. Enjoy this blend straight and simple with an option to add whatever you prefer. Ingredients: You see, Hayman’s Old Tom is clear. Ransom’s Old Tom is a light hay, like a young whiskey. Ransom’s Old Tom features malted barley with a relatively simplistic botanical infusion (juniper, orange and lemon peel, coriander, angelica root and cardamom). Hayman’s has a similar juniper-forward nose, but softens into a denser, fuller flavor. During prohibition, many people tried to supply others with homemade liquor. People had no access to distilleries and had to produce their alcohol or moonshine at home secretly. Whatever Old Tom you choose to sip on, just know that you’re diving into a flavor that emerged and evolved through gin’s long history of war, prohibition, secret bars — and plenty of juniper.That name Professor Cornelius Ampleforth’s Bathtub Old Tom Gin a mouth-full. But let’s break it down into some helpful definitions: Bajes Too different for me I love a crisp G & T, but not keen on the liquorice and cinnamon flavours of this gin. Much prefer the grapefruit gin. Bathtub Gin has moved from being a single product to being part of The Ableforth Series (formerly The Professor Ampleforth series), which also contains an Old Tom Gin, a Sloe Gin, a Summer Fruit Cup, a Cask Aged version of Bathtub Gin and a Navy Strength Gin (as well as a few spirits outside of the Gin category). Yes, they have been busy!

Add Juniper berries, Coriander Seeds, and Angelica root in the jar with the vodka. Swirl around to mix. Step 4 It's all natural - Rhubarb Old Tom is hand-crafted on the Scottish Orkney Islands in micro batches using many local and Scottish botanicals by small family run business, Orkney Gin Company. We don't use any flavourings, colourings or presevatives. The thing with Bathtub Gin is that you make it exclusively by adding botanicals AFTER distillation to a cheap. Producers add them to a cheap grain of alcohol and let them infuse for a while. Justthetonic Bathtub gin I am trying lots of gins at the minute. I think I chose this one fir the cute bottle. Unfortunately this is nit to my taste and I don’t like this gin at all.

Bathtub Gin is made using a technique called cold compounding. Technically speaking, compound gin involves flavourings (such as botanicals) simply being added to neutral grain spirit and then filtered out before bottling. Although there are many other technicalities surrounding how it is done, ABV for example, in layman’s terms – compound gins just infuse whereas distilled gins infuse and then distil. Distillation at home without a license is illegal in most countries so making a true gin simply isn’t possible for most of us. That’s why making a bathtub gin is such a fun way to make your own alcohol without breaking any laws! Does Bathtub Gin Go bad? Many of the cheapest supermarket home brands used to employ cold compounding when producing gin on a commercial scale. Using artificial flavourings resulted in much cheaper production costs, thus larger profit margins. Because of this it has long been seen as an inferior method of creating gin. By and large we agree that over long periods of time cold compound gins could dispel their flavour, and that for the most those that have historically used cold compounding were solely doing so because it’s cheap and not because they wanted to create great tasting gin. Moreover, they used artificial flavourings and extracts rather than actual botanicals… Put the crushed ingredients with the clementine and lemon peel all together in the glass jar. Step 4 Nowadays, bathtub gin refers to a gin infusion made at home with commercial alcohol. Typically this recipe takes fresh fruit, sugar, and a cheap bottle of gin or vodka. It makes a sweet, fruity liqueur with a gin base. Why Is It Called Bathtub Gin?
