Anchor Old Tom Gin

Detailed Description

Old Tom Gin, which peaked in popularity sometime in the late 19th century (before London Dry Gin came into favor), is known for being fuller-bodied and slightly sweeter than its more modern counterpart. Anchor Old Tom Gin stays true to this stylistic tradition, and is pot distilled with juniper berries, licorice root and star anise. In addition, Anchor uses one final, relatively obscure ingredient — Paraguayan stevia — which lends the gin its silky-smooth character and pleasant sweetness.

Distillery Information

Tucked away in a warehouse near Potrero Hill in San Francisco, Anchor Brewing and Distilling Co. has been distilling alcohol by hand for 140 years. Its history can be traced back to 1849, when German brewer Gottlieb Brekle moved to San Francisco during the Gold Rush. Twenty years later, he bought a beer-and-billiards saloon and transformed it into Anchor Brewery.
