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
"The botanicals are warming and apart from the cinnamon, work in concert together. Upon further tastes, the angelica's celery like fragrance comes through just a little stronger. Some cardamom maybe comes through on the finish. There is a dollop of sweetness, but it has been used judiciously. A really lovely gin to sip chilled and neat, but try in a Martinez or even a Martini."
