Himbrimi Old Tom Small Batch 700 ml

Himbrimi Old Tom Small Batch is an Icelandic gin from Brunnur Distillery in Reykjavik, made in the Old Tom style with a recipe drawing on 18th-century tradition. The botanical bill leans on organic juniper, wild arctic thyme foraged from the highlands, angelica seed, and mountain honey, which gives the gin its characteristic sweetness against the classic juniper backbone. On the nose it opens with honey and lavender, almost earthy, like the highlands after rain; the palate carries bright floral juniper with the thyme coming through underneath the honey. The finish runs long and smooth, with the floral notes lingering well after the sip. A good pick for drinkers who find dry gin too austere.

How to drink Himbrimi Old Tom Small Batch

Its natural sweetness makes it a rare Old Tom that works well simply over ice with a lemon twist, no tonic required. For something more classic, build a Martinez, since the honey and thyme play nicely against sweet vermouth.
