Plymouth Gin has unveiled its latest creation: a naturally honey-flavoured gin crafted using the brand’s original recipe from 1793. This new release offers notes of golden honey and vanilla, rounded off with a classic juniper and citrus finish.
Smooth and Delicate at 41.2% ABV
At an alcohol strength of 41.2% ABV, the gin is described as a “delicate and smooth expression,” appealing to both traditional and adventurous gin lovers.
Innovation in Flavoured Gin
Tony Ingram, Global Brand Director at Plymouth Gin, said,
“Honey has surged in popularity across many spirits categories, however, few have dared to challenge this in gin. We did, and we’re confident it will be a sensation.” He added, “Our consumers are increasingly interested in exploring innovative flavours. What could be more exciting than a new flavoured gin that uses the highest quality ingredients and stays true to the timeless flavours of Plymouth Gin?”
