    Not the same colour it used to be...



    I normally drink Hendricks Gin, but I have a bottle of this stuff on order.

    Anyone ever seen non-clear Gin?

    gin is clear. Real gin anyway.

    Nay you repeatedly punch him in the throat as he slowly drags you away.

    Interesting. Does it have a flavor ingredient that gave it that color? Usually that amber hue comes from aging in charrd oak casks.

    And no, i haven't seen colored gin.
    Hey careful man! There's a beverage here!

    I thought Ginger was a red head?

    Dark gin?
    When the delegates emerged from the Constitutional Convention in 1787, a Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got?” Franklin replied, “A republic, madam, if you can keep it.”

    Ransom Old Tom Oregon Gin 750ml
    SKU #1052105

    Ransom spirits is a one man, artisinal distillery, run by Tad Seestedt and located in Sheridan, Oregon. The Old Tom gin is all done on an alembic pot still and it is an historically accurate replication of what people were drinking in the 1800's and during the golden age of American cocktails (Cocktail historian David Wondrich collaborated on the project). It has just a touch of sweetness, a golden amber color, and is made from malted barley and corn. Make the original Martinez cocktail with the original Old Tom Gin. One of the most fun products we've played with this year. It is versatile, but classically styled. A must for any serious mixer.

    My spidey senses tell me that that's the long version of, "He shit in the barrel by accident." I'll await BadCat's verdict. I have been wrong in these matters once or once.
