The Dorchester Old Tom Gin

Historically speaking, this has to be one of the most interesting gins out there, and it tastes great too. It had become rare until recently, when a resurgence in unique cocktails brought this gin to the forefront. It is sweeter than a traditional London Dry, but not as sweet as a Jenever. This is why it is regarded by many as a missing link in the gin world. The gin is made from an original recipe that was distilled exclusively for The Bar at The Dorchester, which is a hotel in London. This gin has slight floral notes, with a stronger juniper aroma. It finishes with strong floral and spice elements, and leaves a faint sweetness in the palate. The fruity and floral elements are a bit stronger than other gins on the market. This is a smooth gin that would go great with any cocktail.
