From Spain, launched in 1977, the gin used to have a pronounced juniper taste according to their website. As times and tastes have altered, the gin has changed and is now produced from 100% grain neutral spirit which combines juniper and a further nine botanicals which are triple distilled to give it a refined and modern appeal. The botanicals used to make Tann’s are juniper berries, coriander seeds, cucumber, rose petals, cardamom, mandarin peel, orange blossom, lemon peel, liquorice root, and raspberry. This drinks quite soft and sweet and probably should be avoided by those who prefer classic London Dry's.

Introducing the world's first white spiced rum. Old J Silver retains some of the main flavour notes of Old J original, keeping the smooth toffee, sweet lime and heady vanilla hit. However, the heavy spicing of the other Old J styles have been toned right down to allow the more subtle, un-aged white rum to shine. With its clear colour and breadth of flavours, Old J Silver really shines in its versatility. While it can add an extra element to many cocktails, it's particularly good for light, summery, rum-based drinks like a Mojito, Mai Tai or Pornstar Martini. For something simpler, it also blends beautifully with simple fruit mixers such as passion fruit or Ting.

A strong, rich rum based liqueur made with orange peels and sugar cane. This is a stuning drink, and well worth trying.
