Plymouth Gin
The oldest working gin distillery in England
Plymouth Distillery | Gin Distillery Plymouth | Plymouth Gin Factory
Plymouth Gin's building is a national monument. The Black Friars Distillery dates back to the early 1400s. The most intact part of the distillery is the Refectory Room, a medieval hall with a fine hull-shaped timber roof built in 1431. It is one of the oldest buildings in Plymouth and is protected as a precious national monument. Not least because it’s now also an important centre of excellence for gin cocktail making.
Unless you have been living under a rock the last few years, chances are you have noticed that gin is very much the modern booze. The Plymouth Gin Royal Navy Strength bottle brand is undeniably a firm favourite. Read more in our why is gin so popular blog.
Discover the history of the hallowed Black Friars Distillery and get an introduction to the centuries-old Plymouth Gin distillation process. The tour includes a short tutored tasting of Plymouth Dry Gin and Plymouth Sloe Gin. It is the perfect introduction to the unique blend of exotic botanicals and their colourful partner in the craft, the sloe berry. You can even upgrade to a Connoisseur's or Master Distillers' tour, which includes an in-depth blind tasting of five gins, to compare the different styles and tastes.
The Refectory Cocktail Bar is a unique and vibrant lounge situated within this historic distillery. The surroundings are elegant and comfortable. World-class cocktails are mixed by highly qualified cocktail bartenders. Please note after 7pm on Friday and Saturday; it is only open to members.
