I think you're good using reputable brand London Dry gins for tiki drinks. Using New World gins would have a "softer" effect, and would not match the flavor profile and impact of the London Dry gins. Big assumption on my part is that only London Drys were used by Don, Vic, etc. so someone else could definitely provide better-researched information.

"Traditional" London Drys would be Tanqueray and Beefeater among others.

"New Worlds" would be Uncle Val's and St. Augustine among others.
