Plymouth gin

Plymouth gin is made with grain alcohol, soft Dartmoor water, and seven botanicals that include juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, orange and lemon peel, orris, and cardamom. It was created in 1793, and it is still produced in the original copper still that dates from 1855.

Plymouth was the only type of gin with a geographical indication, but since 2015, it is no longer applied. This gin is still only produced in Plymouth, at the namesake distillery, which was formerly known as the Black Friars Distillery. Plymouth gin is full-bodied and smooth, with juniper flavor and aromas that are accompanied by citrusy, earthy, and herbaceous nuances.

Original Plymouth gin is bottled at 41.2%, but the distillery produces several other versions, including the Navy Strength version that reaches 57% ABV.
