Plymouth London Dry Gin

Plymouth Gin is a distinctive style of gin with a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), meaning it can only be produced in Plymouth, England, at the Black Friars Distillery, the oldest working gin distillery in England, established in 1793.

History and Origin:

• The Black Friars Distillery is housed in a building dating back to the early 15th century, believed to have once been a Dominican monastery.
• Plymouth's maritime history is deeply intertwined with the gin's popularity, becoming a staple on British Royal Navy ships.
• The brand played a role in the development of the "Navy Strength" classification for spirits.

Botanicals:

Plymouth Gin uses a blend of seven botanicals:

• Juniper berries
• Coriander seeds
• Sweet orange peel
• Lemon peel
• Angelica root
• Green cardamom
• Orris root

Notably, no bitter botanicals are used in its production.

Tasting Notes:

Plymouth Gin is often described as:

• Smoother and more full-bodied than London Dry gins.
• Having a more earthy character due to a higher proportion of root botanicals.
• With a noticeable citrus element, particularly sweet orange and lemon.
• Having a softened juniper flavor compared to the pine-forward London Dry style.
• Some detect a subtle sweetness, while others find it drier than London Dry.
• The nose is often rich in spirit with fresh aromas, plus cardamom and coriander.
• The finish is typically elegant, long, and aromatic.

Awards and Recognition:

Plymouth Gin has received numerous awards and accolades over the years, recognizing its quality and taste. These include medals from prestigious competitions such as the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the International Wine & Spirit Competition.

Overall Impression:

Plymouth Gin is a classic and versatile gin appreciated for its balanced and smooth flavor profile. Its unique style, with a less dominant juniper note and a more pronounced citrus and earthy character, makes it a favorite for both sipping and mixing in a wide range of cocktails, particularly classic ones like the Martini and Gin & Tonic. Its historical significance and protected designation further solidify its place as a premium gin.
