About this bottle
Blinking Owl Old Tom Gin Barrel Vacationed comes from Blinking Owl Distillery in Santa Ana, a grain-to-glass operation that mills and ferments its own base spirit before it ever gets to the still. This is their Old Tom style, the slightly sweeter, pre-Prohibition gin category, rested in barrels that had already held another spirit rather than fresh oak, which softens the botanicals and adds a light amber color. The nose carries juniper alongside a rounder, honeyed sweetness, the palate picks up soft vanilla and spice from the wood, and the finish stays smooth rather than sharp. It suits drinkers who find modern dry gins too austere and want something closer to gin's older, warmer style.
How to drink Blinking Owl Old Tom Gin Barrel Vacationed
Old Tom style is built for a Tom Collins or a Martinez, where its rounder sweetness balances the citrus or vermouth better than a dry gin would. It also works neat over one cube for anyone curious what pre-Prohibition gin actually tasted like.

Good to know
Questions about this bottle
What glass or serve suits this gin?
It works well in a rocks glass over a single cube or mixed into a cocktail; store it upright at room temperature away from direct light.
What cocktails work well with Old Tom gin?
Its rounder sweetness fits classics built for Old Tom style, like a Tom Collins or a Martinez, better than it fits a bone-dry Martini.
What does 'barrel vacationed' mean here?
The gin rests for a period in barrels that previously held another spirit rather than fresh oak, which softens the botanicals and adds a light color, distinct from barrel-aged gins finished in new wood.
What makes Blinking Owl different from most gin producers?
Blinking Owl is a grain-to-glass distillery in Santa Ana, California, meaning it mills and ferments its own base spirit rather than buying neutral grain spirit from a third party.
