Gin isn’t just gin. From old-school classics to bold, modern interpretations, there are several distinct types — and each one brings its own flavor, feel, and tradition. If you’ve ever wondered what sets London Dry apart from Old Tom or how The Old G stacks up, this is the breakdown you’ve been looking for.
The most recognized style worldwide. Must be made through distillation (not flavoring after) and can’t have added sugar. It’s dry, clean, and heavy on the juniper.
The Old G is a modern take on this classic — smooth, layered, and distilled with organic botanicals.
Similar to London Dry, but it allows for added flavors or infusions after the initial distillation. More flexibility, but also more variation in quality.
A protected style that can only be made in Plymouth, England. Slightly earthier and softer than London Dry, with more root-driven botanicals.
Slightly sweet and more mellow than dry gins. This throwback style is making a comeback in cocktails for its rich, approachable flavor.
The original ancestor of gin, made from malted grain and often aged. It drinks more like a cross between gin and whiskey — malty, heavy, and rich.
Bold and boozy. Navy Strength is typically bottled at 57% ABV or higher. Originally made for naval ships, it’s all flavor and firepower.
This category is wide open. These gins dial down the juniper and highlight other botanicals — citrus, floral, herbal, you name it. Some push boundaries. Some just refine the classics.
The Old G fits here too — blending traditional juniper with modern clarity and smoothness.
Each style of gin tells a different story — but they all come from the same roots. Whether you like it sweet, earthy, bold, or botanical, there’s a gin out there for you. And if you want one that blends the best of tradition and innovation? That’s The Old G.
Gin’s got flavor, history, and some legit street cred. It’s no wonder it’s a favorite among the old timers and the fresh crowd alike.

Gin may look like vodka, but it’s a whole different spirit. Discover how gin is made, what separates it from vodka, and why The Old G is anything but basic.
