This delicious gin is bold, botanical and sweetly citrussy.
Choose our hand gift wrapped Old Tom Gin for the perfect gift.
Based on an original family recipe, dating all the way back to the 1860s, our Old Tom Gin is the perfect foundation for a classic Tom Collins, Gin Fizz or Martinez.
If you’re looking for character, Old Tom is your gin: bold, botanical and sweetly citrussy.
For a characterful Martinez, stir 40ml Hayman’s Old Tom Gin, 20ml sweet vermouth, three quarters of a teaspoon maraschino liqueur and 2 dashes orange bitters with ice. Then strain into a coupe glass.
Juniper forward, bold, botanical and sweetly citrussy.
41.4% ABV
Available in 5cl, 20cl, 70cl and 70cl Wrapped.

Rated 5 out of 5
As someone who is new to gin, this is the first gin that has really enthralled me. The odor is pleasurable. The taste is exquisite. I have found my principle gin of choice.

Rated 5 out of 5
This has a nice “old tom” gin flavour, being sweeter and less obviously juniper led than classic “dry” gin. I find the sweetness and flavour very easy drinking, and can make a very nice martini cocktail, where in my opinion a little sweetness takes the hard edge off the drink.
