Plymouth Gin
Plymouth Gin launched in 1793, and has been made with the same botanicals, on the same site, ever since. Plymouth Gin is the only brand in the UK to have a PGI mark (Protected Geographical Indication), which means it can only be made in Plymouth.
This PGI also denotes that Plymouth is a style of Gin, as well as a brand. It is thought that the PGI was acquired (back in the 1880s) to protect the reputation of the brand which was supplying over 1,000 barrels of Gin to the British Royal Navy at the time.
Plymouth Gin is traditional in its botanical makeup (juniper, cardamom, coriander, angelica root, citrus peels and orris root), although less so in flavor. It’s a particularly smooth Gin due to the higher number of root botanicals, giving an earthier feel than a London Dry Gin. It works well in Martinis and Gin and Tonics alike.
