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.
As long as you don’t disrespect this lovely gin with cheapo tonic it will be a friend for life.
My husband's favourite gin and I'm more than happy to have it as our go to gin. Brilliant value for money.
Smooth enough to sip neat. Lovely with tonic. Crisp and tasty.
It's the classic gin named in so many cocktail recipes - History in a glass.
Having tried and tested the full range of all the new and modern style Gins I cannot find any that match the strength and flavour of Plymouth
