In the same way that gin was rested in casks rather than bottles in London’s ornate Gin Palaces during the 1800s, ours is rested in old Scotch Whisky barrels for just three weeks. Such short contact with wood really lifts our botanical flavours and enhances the peppery spice.
The story of Hayman’s Old Tom
Following calls from bartenders wanting to revive the classic gin cocktails such as the Martinez, Tom Collins and Ramos Gin Fizz – Hayman’s launched
Outstanding. This is not a novelty gin at all. It is an excellent London Dry gin with just a small faint of softness brought out by the barrel contact. It makes it just a teeny tad softer, but not a flavoured gimmicky product. Really wonderful. Outstanding in a martini.
