Plymouth Gin is uniquely protected under EU law, in the same way as Champagne and Port it's made only in one area. The gin has new packaging for 2013, but is made in a 7,000 litre copper pot still which has been used at the distillery for over 150 years. The seven botanicals used in order of dominance are: juniper, coriander, lemon peel, orange peel, sweet angelica, orris root and cardamom. No bitter botanicals are used.

Serve
Rich, fresh aroma of juniper, followed by notes of coriander and cardamom. To taste, it's extremely smooth, creamy and full bodied, with a slight sweetness. Serve in a G&T with a grapefruit peel garnish.
Process
The recipe features a classic combination of botanicals, including orange peel, lemon peel, green cardamom, juniper, coriander, angelica and orris - just as it did when their craft began way back in 1793.
People
Plymouth Gin is made by Sean Harrison who joined in 1994 as Assistant Manager, rising to become Master Distiller. In doing so he became the keeper of its coveted 200 year old recipe, passed down verbally to every Master Distiller since 1793.
Place
This iconic distillery is a former Black Friars building dating back to the 1400s. The most intact part of the distillery is home to a hull-shaped timber roof built in 1431. The Pilgrim Fathers even spent their last night in England here in 1620.
