Old Tom GinThis style is not legally defined, but in general, this style of gin is mildly sweet and is not juniper-forward. It falls in between London Dry Gin and Genever in terms of sweetness level.

Tasting Notes
"Vanilla extract, honey aromas, and a little orange blossom but not much else is found on the nose. The palate has some herbal, flower components, and even manages to sashay into some malty flavors. The primary flavors are chamomile, vanilla, and coriander. Meanwhile, everything is laced with a slightly unnatural sweetness. The finish is bitter and reminiscent of tonic. Definitely a candidate for a Long Island Iced Tea."
