Based on an 18th-century recipe, this Old Tom-style gin is produced by Iceland-based Himbrimi Distillery using locally sourced wild arctic thyme, angelica flowers and mountain honey. Himbrimi Old Tom Gin rests at 40% ABV and retails for around $70 per 750 ml bottle; however, it's not an easy gin to find here in the U.S.

  • This drinks like a toddy in a glass with a hit of juniper and light oak. It’s pleasant, unique and full of delicious character.

  • Good Gin-Tentions
  • While I have a great love for this gin, I’m not sure it’s really one that can be called Old Tom gin, but I’d really call it more of a modern gin. It’s certainly one of the more unique gins in the world, and for that reason alone I’d recommend it.

  • The Gin Is In
  • By Aaron Knoll
  • Himbrimi I would say is closer to a gin amaro than it is an Old Tom. But categories aside, it’s an unusual direction in gin that’s unlike anything else out there right now.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Bold and extremely juniper forward on the nose, with a touch of maple, light pepper and a faint whiff of honey

  • Taste:

    Moderate viscosity on the palate, honey, clover, light lemon and a good bit of juniper once again.

  • Finish:

    Long finish, drying and bitter on the palate, but pleasant and laced with honey and lemon.

  • Overall:

    This drinks like a toddy in a glass with a hit of juniper and light oak. It’s pleasant, unique and full of delicious character.
