Plymouth Gin (75cl, 41.2%)

Plymouth Gin is an English gin made at the Black Friars Distillery in Plymouth, where gin has been produced since 1793 to the original seven-botanical recipe. Juniper, coriander, sweet orange peel, lemon peel, green cardamom, angelica root and orris root are used, with no bitter botanicals, giving a richer, earthier style than a London Dry. Batch distillation takes place in a copper pot installed in 1855 and the spirit is softened with Dartmoor water. The nose is rich and fresh with cardamom and coriander spice, the palate is smooth, sweet and full-bodied, and the finish is elegant, long and aromatic, with earthy depth beneath citrus and spice.
