Old Tom gin

In modern times, it became rare but has experienced a resurgence in the craft cocktail movement.

[2] Old Tom Gin was formerly made under licence by a variety of distillers around the world; however, one was recently relaunched by Hayman's Distillery based on an original recipe.

[4] An Old Tom Gin made by J. Wray and Nephew Ltd. of Jamaica is also commonly found on the market.

Old Tom Gin is specified for Jerry Thomas' cocktail called the Martinez in his 1887 Bartender's Guide, How to Mix All Kinds of Plain and Fancy Drinks.

[5] An early record of it being used in the Tom Collins cocktail was the 1882 book, Harry Johnson's New and Improved Bartender's Manual.
