Haymans Old Tom Gin English Gin 20 cl 41,4%

In the small 20cl bottle you'll find the same recreated Victorian recipe as in the larger bottle, a sweeter gin style that was almost lost until Hayman's brought it back.

Expert's description

Hayman's Old Tom Gin is an English Old Tom Gin, bottled at 41.4%.

The gin is a modern-day recreation of an original family recipe dating from the 1870s, launched in 2007 to meet demand during the cocktail renaissance.

The 10 botanicals emphasise juniper and two types of cinnamon, including coriander seed, lemon peel, orange peel, angelica root, cassia bark, orris root, licorice and nutmeg.

The small 20cl bottle makes this classic style ideal for trying out or taking on the road.
