Product details
The Plymouth Gin Distillery was once a monastery and even a prison prior to becoming a distillery. The distillery’s proximity to the Royal William Victualling Yard in Plymouth made it an ideal location for supplying naval officers with gin. If you drank gin while in the British Royal Navy, it was probably Plymouth. A soft, classic gin, ideal for when you want a softer profile. Flavor is fairly neutral compared to a London Dry, with a touch of sweetness and complex underpinnings of pine, citrus and black pepper.

I've been reading the Death Co cocktail book and one of their "go to" gins is Plymouth. It is very good. It still has a jolt of juniper but is lighter and brighter, probably the citrus. While the London Dry is juniper forward, which I love, and some of the new, American gins are floral and herby, this is a good all around gin. I will keep it in my liquor cabinet from here on. I would recommend!
This is such a great gin for gin-based cocktails. In a Negroni, or similar, one needs a gin that’s got an unbiased flavor profile and something that can stand up next to the demands of the opinionated Campari and a great sweet vermouth. In fact, I'll still double the gin ratio, but Plymouth is just the “work horse” I’m looking for in a gin based cocktail...
