Description
Hayman’s Old Tom Gin 700ml is a lightly sweetened gin from the Hayman family, distillers in Balham, London. It follows the older style of gin that came before London Dry became the norm, with sugar added after distillation to soften the botanicals. The ten botanicals include juniper, coriander, lemon and orange peel, angelica, orris, cinnamon, nutmeg and liquorice root.

This is the natural gin for a Tom Collins or a Martinez, where its gentle sweetness carries through the drink. It also works in a gin and tonic with a strip of lemon peel, and sits comfortably beside citrus desserts or a plate of hard cheese.
