Plymouth Gin

Made in Plymouth, England, this is one of the few surviving styles of a English gin other than the London dry-style. The original gin for a martini and many other classic drinks. Much loved by Winston Churchill among many others, it almost died out. but was rescued from oblivion and is now regaining a foothold in the gin market.

Unlike the London dry-style, it uses a sweet orange peel and cardamom along with the usual ingredients of orris root, juniper, angelica root, coriander and lemon peel.

Proof and Wood The Globe Polish Rye

A very complex, spicy, and fruity rye that reflects its many influences and background. Highly recommend as a departure from the ordinary.
