Most people think of gin as something to mix — with tonic, soda, or citrus. But the truth is, a well-made gin doesn’t need anything added. The right bottle can be sipped straight, just like a fine whiskey or tequila. The key is quality — and if you haven’t tried The Old G neat, you might be missing out.
For a long time, gin had a reputation for being too sharp, too piney, or too harsh. That’s because many gins were overloaded with juniper and lacked balance. But that’s changed. Craft distillers — like us — have redefined what gin can be.
It comes down to how it’s made. A gin that’s smooth, well-balanced, and made with premium botanicals can stand on its own. Look for:
These aren’t just production choices — they make the difference between a gin you want to mix and a gin you want to sip.
Pour 1.5 oz into a rocks glass. No ice, no mixer — just clean spirit.
Smell first. Let the botanicals hit. Then take a slow sip. You’ll notice the juniper, the citrus, the herbs — each layer showing up with clarity. The best gins, like The Old G, finish smooth without the bite.
Want it chilled? Try it over one large cube or give it a quick stir with ice before straining into your glass.
Our gin was built for sipping. It’s complex, clean, and smooth enough to enjoy neat. With cardamom, citrus, and liquorice root adding depth — and no artificial ingredients to cover anything up — you get the full expression of the liquid without distractions.
Sipping gin straight isn’t just for connoisseurs — it’s for anyone who wants to taste what a spirit really has to offer. And with The Old G, you’ll see exactly why it’s worth trying. No mixers, no shortcuts — just good gin, poured right.
The Old G Gin is unlike any other. It’s smooth, with no burn, no bite, and none of the bitterness that defines traditional gin. Its bold flavor profile stands out, whether sipped neat or mixed into a cocktail.
