What was originally conceived as a client gift has evolved into so much more for one indie ad agency. Giants & Gentlemen Gin is winning its fair share of accolades; most recently winning GOLD for Old Tom Gin at the 2023 World Gin Awards.
Giants & Gentlemen Old Tom Gin pays homage to the traditions of Victorian-era style gin while adding a modern twist, creating its unique, award-winning flavour. In addition to the classic notes of juniper, co-founders Natalie Armata and Alanna Nathanson worked tirelessly to find a tasting profile that sets their gin apart from the rest of the market.
“We knew we wanted to give our clients a holiday gift, but as an advertising shop, we wanted to come up with a creative way to say thank you,” says Natalie Armata, co-CEO and CCO of G & G Advertising.
“We went through many different runs until we landed on a taste we were really loving," adds Alanna Nathanson, co-CEO and CCO of G&G Advertising. “Eventually, we knew we had something truly unique.”
Highlighting an aromatic blend of juniper berries, lemon and orange peel with subtle hints of vanilla and elder flower, all perfectly arranged to create an unprecedented gin experience. The flavour profile is mellow, smooth and well-mannered, delicious neat, yet stands tall when mixed with tonic.
Crafted in Concord, Ontario with locally sourced ingredients, Old Tom Gin is also the Winner of five SIP awards.
