Plymouth Gin

Navy Strength Dry Gin

£36.90

Last up, we go back down south for a taste of Plymouth Gin, which is another of my personal favourite brands. I usually stick to their original blend, which is known as a very classic, traditional and juniper-led gin and makes a great G&T. But I thought I'd include the Naval Strength gin on this list because Plymouth Gin's history is intrinsically tied to the Royal Navy. 

For nearly two hundred years, no Royal Navy ship left port without a store of the Navy Strength Plymouth Gin on board. It was even a tradition that all new vessels received a 'Plymouth Gin Commissioning Kit' with two bottles of the stuff. 

This historic gin is still being made today at Black Friars, England’s oldest working distillery. There's so much history behind this brand, so it's a great one to finish off our journey through English gins! But if you can't face the 57% proof Naval Strength, you can always stick to the rich and smooth original Plymouth Gin instead!
