"Plymouth gin uses a blend of botanicals which the brand refers to as its "seven wonders of our world." This includes pleasant, spiced notes from cardamom and coriander, juniper berries, along with hints of citrus from lemon and orange. Orris root gives the spirit a floral touch. Finally, angelica root adds a unique slightly sweet earthy taste and accentuates the liquor's a dry finish, which works perfectly in dry, not-too-sweet martinis."
"Plymouth Gin typically has a less pronounced juniper flavor compared to London Dry gin, which gives a martini well-rounded flavor perfect for pairing with herbal flavors and slight bitterness of vermouth without the drink becoming too bitter or pungent. The citrus hints from the orange and lemon in Plymouth gin also adds brightness to the drink and complements the lemon peel commonly added as a martini garnish."
Plymouth Gin is produced exclusively in Plymouth since 1793 and prized for a smooth balance of seven botanicals. The botanical mix includes juniper, cardamom, coriander, lemon, orange, orris root, and angelica root, yielding spiced, citrus, floral, and slightly sweet earthy notes. The spirit's less pronounced juniper and dry finish create a well-rounded martini that pairs harmoniously with vermouth and lemon peel without overwhelming bitterness. Superior-quality gin is essential for concentrated cocktails like martinis. Plymouth's brightness and floral hints make it especially suitable for classic dry martinis and a wide range of gin cocktails. Plymouth works equally well in gin-and-tonics and Negronis.
