The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Hayman's Old Tom Gin revives a historic style that predates the modern London Dry category, produced by the Hayman's family distillery in England. Old Tom gin was the dominant style in 18th and 19th century London before drier gins took over, and Hayman's crafts this expression as a genuine, family-recipe tribute to that earlier era.
Compared to a London Dry, Old Tom gins are traditionally rounder and slightly sweeter, and Hayman's version follows suit — juniper remains at the core, but it's softened by a touch of natural sweetness and gentle spice, giving the palate a smoother, more approachable character. The finish is mellow rather than sharply dry. This makes it the ideal choice for classic pre-Prohibition cocktails that call specifically for Old Tom gin, like a Tom Collins in its original form or a Martinez.
For cocktail enthusiasts who want to explore gin history and mix truly authentic classic recipes, Hayman's Old Tom is an essential bottle. Shop this historic Old Tom gin online at Habits Bottle Shop and bring some 19th-century character to your bar.
