Drink International Launches 'Plymouth' Gin with 230 Years of History

Drink International announced on the 17th that it will launch the authentic British gin with a 230-year history, 'Plymouth.'

The Plymouth Distillery, which began distilling in the 1400s, is located on the site of a monastery where Dominican monks once lived in the center of Plymouth city. Plymouth is a port city located in the southwest of England, and due to this geographical characteristic, it hosts a British naval base. Plymouth gin became famous worldwide through the British Navy. The current recipe is distilled exactly as the original recipe created in 1793, and the still installed in 1906 is still in use today.

Plymouth gin is also widely loved as a cocktail base. It was the gin used when the dry martini was first created in 1904, and it is so synonymous with gin that the iconic Savoy Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London included 34 cocktails made with Plymouth gin in its cocktail book.

Plymouth gin features a rich and refreshing aroma, with coriander and cardamom enhancing its spicy flavor, and offers a smooth and sweet taste with a deep body. The Plymouth gin being released this time comes in a 700mL bottle with an alcohol content of 41.2%.

A representative from Drink International said, “Plymouth gin not only has a unique heritage associated with the British Navy but is also an iconic gin brand that marked the beginning of the martini cocktail and has been loved by bartenders worldwide for a long time. There has been significant demand for Plymouth gin domestically as well, and through this launch, we expect to satisfy the tastes of consumers and bartenders who desire a premium gin guaranteed for its taste and quality.”
