This is real Old Tom, replicating the style of original 'sweet' gins from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, not just a bog standard London dry with added sugar. Jensen's Old Tom is made to a 1840s recipe, and unusually for a modern day Old Tom does not contain any sugar. Originally made...

under contract by Thames Distillers in 2015 production moved to Bermondsey Gin's own dedicated distillery close to London's Tower Bridge. The move was celebrated with a new label featuring the bridge.
