Hayman's of London Old Tom Gin (750ml)

Behind every great bartender is a bottle of Hayman’s Old Tom.  Ask any bartender in the know and they’ll tell you that their go-to for a classic gin cocktail is our Old Tom Gin.

This delicious gin is 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.

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.

An original in their category, the Hayman family is the oldest gin-distilling family in London, having started their work in 1863. Company founder James Burrough was the great-great-grandfather of the current chairpersons, Miranda Hayman and James Hayman. Burrough was a true pioneer in the history of gin, innovating both process and profile. Not long after the Single Bottle Act of 1861, which allowed gin to be sold in bottles, Burrough set out to develop cleaner and more expressive profiles made possible with glass packaging. He employed a more expansive set of botanicals than his predecessors, and drew accolades as the first to employ citrus. The resulting profiles set a new standard that, for many drinks enthusiasts, remain benchmarks for traditional English gin.
