Title: Hayman’s of London Old Tom Gin – Family Distilled – 41.4% – 750ml – England

Hayman’s Old Tom Gin is a classic expression of the historic Old Tom style of English gin, produced by the Hayman family, whose involvement in London gin dates back to 1863. Old Tom occupies an important place in gin history. Stylistically, it bridges the gap between the sweeter Dutch-influenced genever tradition and the drier London Dry style that later became dominant. Hayman’s interpretation uses the family’s traditional botanical recipe and deliberately presents a richer, rounder and subtly sweeter profile than a conventional London Dry. Juniper remains central, complemented by citrus, spice and soft sweetness, giving the gin a fuller texture and approachable finish. It is particularly associated with classic cocktails from the golden age of bartending, including the Tom Collins, Martinez and Ramos Gin Fizz, where Old Tom gin was historically specified. The bottle itself emphasizes Hayman’s heritage, carrying the embossed “Family Gin Distillers – Since 1863 – England” presentation. This example is the 750 ml export/US-market version at 41.4% ABV, rather than the 700 ml format commonly encountered in Europe. The rear label identifies the U.S. importer as Haus Alpenz in Minnesota.
