If you’re after a traditional Plymouth gin, this is it. A must for any home bar, expect a punchy medicinal flavour with juniper and citrus at the fore. Our testers found the herbal, grassy flavours gave way to some faint sweetness, all wrapped up in a gently warming, bitter finish. Made in exclusive batches, you won’t find Oxley lining the shelves of your local — which is exactly why we love it.

Old Tom is a slightly sweetened style of gin made famous in the 18th Century, usually sweetened with either Sugar or Honey. To qualify your product must be marketed / branded as an Old Tom Gin and cannot simply contain Sugar or Honey.
