Catoctin Creek Watershed Old Tom Gin

$49 per bottle

On sale for $40 per bottle

The gin’s base is distilled from organic rye and although the botanical blend is kept a secret, Watershed Gin’s 50% ABV gives those botanicals an assertive and bold presence. There’s a lot going on, and its quite interesting, slowly unraveling and revealing itself when tasted neat. It's a very interesting, almost cerebral gin.
