About this product
Sweet, Sardinian, Unforgettable.
Tom Carta is Silvio Carta’s Old Tom Gin, a sweeter, more aromatic expression that celebrates the best of Sardinian botanicals. Made with hand-picked Sardinian juniper and enriched with local honey, it embodies the island’s natural richness and artisanal tradition. This gin balances bright juniper and aromatic herbs with a gentle sweetness, creating a spirit that is both refined and inviting.
Distilled in small copper pot stills and crafted with care by the pioneering Silvio Carta team, Tom Carta reflects Sardinia’s rugged hills, sun-soaked flora, and coastal freshness. Its smooth texture and subtle sweetness make it perfect neat, over ice, or in cocktails that call for character and complexity. In Ireland, it stands out as a premium, authentic gin that tells the story of Sardinia in every sip.
Why we love it:
We love Tom Carta for its harmony and authenticity. The Sardinian juniper gives it a vibrant, resinous backbone, while the local honey adds warmth and gentle sweetness. Each sip captures the essence of the island – its wild hills, fragrant herbs, and hints of coastal air. In Ireland, it’s a gin that feels special, versatile, and deeply connected to its origins, whether enjoyed neat or in a crafted cocktail.
