Old Tom is a historical gin style with a softer, rounder character than the dry profile usually associated with London Dry. Often slightly sweetened, it gives juniper and other botanicals a gentler setting, although sweetness and flavour differ between producers. Its place in classic cocktail recipes makes it particularly interesting if you enjoy exploring how a drink's ingredients fit together. Try it in a Tom Collins, where lemon and soda provide a lively counterpoint, or compare it with your usual dry gin in a simple mixed serve. Look for the balance of sweetness, citrus and spice that suits your taste.
