Plymouth Gin

Plymouth Gin is a protected brand of gin that has been distilled on the same premises on the Barbican in Plymouth, Devon, since 1793. The site of production, the Plymouth Gin Distillery, was built in 1431 and is reputed to have once been a monastery of the Dominican Order, widely known as "Black Friars". For this reason, it has traditionally been called the "Black Friars Distillery", and this name appears embossed on the gin bottles. Plymouth-style gin is considered a derivative of London Dry, distinguished by a more "earthy" taste profile. and featuring more citrus notes
