This is a high abv gin, but you wouldn’t know it from the aroma. It is beautifully light and fresh upfront, with a delicate piney juniper profile balanced by lemon zest and a gentle contribution from coriander and cardamon. Hints of mustard seed and corn spirit float in just at the end for a surprising but pleasing twist.
Nose: The nose is aromatic with citrus and floral notes, namely orange blossom. Palate: The mouth-feel is smooth with an intensity of flavour thanks to the higher strength. Finish: The finish is long and protracted with pleasing juniper flavours. Overall: A well-balanced and intense Navy Strength gin.
Hayman's Old Tom Gin , hand distilled to a family recipe from the 1870s, is an authentic mark of English heritage. A smooth and full flavoured gin, Hayman's Old Tom gin delivers a more rounded and softer profile than the London Dry style. This quintessentially English gin was the gin of choice during the 19th century Victorian England and used in the classic gin cocktails such as the Martinez and Tom Collins.
