What is an Old Tom Gin?

What is an Old Tom Gin?

What is an Old Tom Gin?

Sip back and discover the history and revival of Old Tom Gin, a classic Victorian-era spirit that pre-dates London Dry. Originating in 18th and 19th century England, Old Tom was sweetened for smoother taste and botanical richness, masking early impurities while shaping cocktails like the Martinez and Tom Collins. Linked to London’s Gin Craze and iconic “Old Tom” cat plaques, this heritage gin now thrives in modern craft mixology.
