Plymouth Gin

Plymouth Gin is made at the Black Friars Distillery in Plymouth, the oldest working English distillery, on the site of a former Dominican monastery where spirits were produced from 1690. It is the only English gin with protected geographical indication. Since 1793 it has been distilled from a unique blend of seven botanicals, Dartmoor water and pure grain alcohol, using the same still for about 200 years. The aroma is led by juniper, supported by the other botanicals, with a fresh taste and citrus hints, clearly different from classic London Dry. It has a place in cocktail history, having been used for the original Dry Martini as early as 1896.
