Plymouth English Gin 1L

Plymouth Gin is a true original. Distilled since 1793 in England’s oldest working gin distillery, it remains one of the world’s most distinctive and historic gins. Smooth, full-bodied and slightly less juniper-forward than a London Dry, it has become a favourite among bartenders and gin lovers alike, with a heritage steeped in naval tradition and cocktail history.

Tasting Notes & Experience

On the nose, fresh juniper is layered with cardamom, coriander and citrus zest. The palate is smooth, creamy and full-bodied with a gentle sweetness, balancing earthy spice with lemon and sweet orange. The finish is long, elegant and aromatic, delivering a refined, versatile gin that works beautifully neat or in cocktails.

Cocktail Pairings

Craftsmanship

Every drop of Plymouth Gin is distilled in a Victorian copper still that has been in continuous use for over 150 years. Using seven hand-selected botanicals, it is produced in small batches with the utmost precision. Its recipe has remained unchanged for centuries, a perfect balance of earthiness, citrus and subtle spice that defines its signature smoothness.

Special Features

Plymouth Gin is not only a celebrated brand but was once a legally protected style of gin, unique to the town of Plymouth. Its bottle proudly features the Mayflower ship in homage to the Pilgrim Fathers, who departed from Plymouth in 1620. The historic distillery building itself dates back to 1431, once home to Black Friars monks, making it Britain’s oldest working gin distillery.
