About this deal

You can throw my praise in as another accolade on the heap of accolades that Plymouth Gin has already won. There are few gins as versatile and as well made as Plymouth Gin. It’s no wonder that they didn’t want to give away their recipe to preserve their GI protected status.

Fox & Williams began distilling the Plymouth brand in 1973. The business became known as Coates & Co up until March 2004. One would expect Bombay Sapphire to taste a lot worse than Plymouth, but it actually holds its own. We would describe Bombay Sapphire as Plymouth gin’s baby brother, not as smooth but brings a complexity that should be acceptable enough to new gin drinkers and afficionados.

Plymouth Gin was established in 1793. It is a brand and style of gin that has been produced on the same premises on the Barbican in Plymouth, Devon. Gin originates from the Netherlands. During the Middle Ages, people used juniper berries for medicinal purposes to fight fever. There are three different distillation methods. Steeping, vapor infusion, and vacuum distillation. For the seeping method, the distiller mixes ethanol & botanicas in a pot still.

He was then told it was because the drink was made with a "gin upgrade". The bar had added extra money to his bill because each drink contained small shot, 25cl of Plymouth Gin. Dutch doctor Franciscus Sylvius de la Boe is the inventor of gin. He made schnaps distilled with juniper berries and it was called “genever” This was consumed for medicinal purposes.Traditionally the royal navy would receive a “Plymouth gin commissionaire kit” that consisted of a wooden box containing two bottles of nave strength Plymouth gin and glasses. They also produce a “navy strength”, which is 57% ABV, this is the traditional strength demanded by the British royal navy. To save the British society from alcoholism the government introduced the “Gin Acts” between 1729 and 1751. This regulated Gin consumption and improved the quality.
