Plymouth Gin in a Nutshell

Notably the only English gin to hold a geographical indication (though the distillery opted not to renew it), Plymouth Gin boasts a unique, earthier, and smoother profile than your typical London Dry. This distinction comes from a higher proportion of root botanicals and a recipe unchanged since 1793, offering a softer juniper hit and distinct citrus notes.

Anders' Take on Plymouth Gin

"Plymouth Gin has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. It mixes beautifully in any cocktail and I love it on it's own. This is a must-have for me."

Let's Answer Your Questions About Plymouth Gin

Where is Plymouth Gin from?

Plymouth Gin hails from Plymouth, England, and is a true classic, with its origin dating back to 1793 at the historic Black Friars Distillery, the oldest working gin distillery in England. The brand is renowned for its unique, slightly sweeter and earthier flavor profile compared to London Dry gins, a characteristic that made it a favorite of the British Royal Navy. Notably, Plymouth Gin was formerly a geographically protected style, meaning it could only be produced in Plymouth, and its distillery building itself dates back to 1431, once serving as a monastery.

How should I use Plymouth Gin?

Plymouth Gin, with its distinct earthy notes and a softer juniper profile compared to its London Dry cousins, brings a wonderfully smooth character to your cocktail creations. It's a versatile player in any home bar, really shining in classics like a Martini, a Pink Gin, or a Gimlet where its unique citrus and coriander complexities can stand out.

What does Plymouth Gin taste like?

Plymouth Gin greets you with a fresh, rich aroma of juniper, followed by spicy notes of coriander and cardamom. The palate is exceptionally smooth, full-bodied, and slightly sweet, with a harmonious blend of juniper, citrus, and deeper earthy notes. Its finish is elegant, long, and refreshingly aromatic, leaving a clean and lingering citrusy spice.
