poor toms

Established in 2015 by two housemates, Jesse and Griff, Poor Toms has grown into one of Australia’s most loved gin brands. Jesse studied economics at uni, then went to work for a merchant bank in the city. His consumption of gin became proportional to his boredom at work. So he cut out the middle-man and decided to make the stuff. Griff has been drinking gin since his dad gave him his first sip of g&t when he was five years old. Before founding Poor Toms, Griff was a gold miner, bartender, and failed actor. The Shakespeare nerds out there might have already guessed where the name Poor Toms comes from.
