A long-standing favourite tipple, Plymouth Gin was one of the few gins to have a geographic indication, obviously pertaining to its eponymous city. However, Plymouth Gin lost this indication in 2015, although it is still of course produced in the city. This is the original gin from the distillery, crafted from seven botanicals in a pot still with a rather short neck, and is blended with Dartmoor water. It is then bottled into the classic ‘shaving bottle’, with its distinctive green glass.
Full and peppery with juniper berry, lemon oil and dried herbs. A little fennel.
Peppery and floral palate entry with hints of soft fruits, tangy juniper oil, pepper and coriander seed.
Long, spicy finish with berry fruits.

I find this a blunt instrument completely lacking in subtelty.
One of my favourites! Very smooth and makes an excellent G&T!
The very best gin for dry martinis! My mother and father introduced me to it when I came of age in the mid 1960s and I have been loyal to it ever since. It should be more widely known throughout the world. Needs a marketing boost!
Makes a decent G&T!
My favourite gin. Not fond of London gins so have ended up with Plymouth! Excellent in a martini or with tonic.
