Rhubarb has long been celebrated in Orkney, with recipes passed down through generations of Orcadians over the years.

They love to use traditional methods and ingredients from times past. 'Old Tom' is a style of gin, dating back to the 18th century, where the gin would be lightly sweetened, to give a smoother finish. They realised this traditional method would allow the tart rhubarb that they were picking for each batch to shine to its full potential.
