Plymouth creates new Honey gin

Plymouth Gin is launching Plymouth Honey, a bold addition to the flavoured gin market. Offering a delicate and smooth expression with a natural honey flavour, Plymouth Honey caters to those wanting to explore different tastes, enjoy authentic moments and indulge in new experiences. Gentle on the palate with golden honey and vanilla notes, alongside a juniper and citrus finish, Plymouth Honey is a delicate and smooth expression of the premium Plymouth Gin.

Now available in the USA, the Plymouth Honey bottle’s eye-catching design and colour celebrates the hardworking honeybees behind the star ingredient, with the new flavour coming in a distinctively shaped Plymouth Gin bottle made of jet-black glass adorned with a striking gold and black label featuring a honeybee, honeycomb and honey drips.

Made in England’s oldest working distillery which is located on the South-West coast, Plymouth Honey offers a unique and delicious flavour profile inspired by Plymouth Gin’s original 1793 recipe. Gentle on the palate with golden honey and vanilla notes, alongside a juniper and citrus finish, Plymouth Honey is a delicate and smooth expression of the premium Plymouth Gin.

Toni Ingram, Global Brand Director for Plymouth Gin, says:

“Honey has surged in popularity across many spirit categories, however, very few have taken on the challenge in gin. We have and we are sure it will create a buzz. Our consumers are increasingly interested in exploring innovative flavour profiles. What better than with an exciting new flavoured gin that uses the highest quality ingredients and remains true to the tradition behind the timeless taste of Plymouth Gin?”

At 41.2%, Plymouth Honey can be enjoyed as a twist on the classic gin & tonic or in an array of luxurious cocktails, including the signature serve, Bees Knees (see editors’ notes below).

Plymouth Honey becomes the sixth drink in Plymouth’s gin range, which is spearheaded by its multi-award-winning original ‘dry’ Plymouth Gin, a super-premium spirit with a nautical heritage. Its historic Black Friars distillery, a former 15th-century monastery, is located on the South West coast of England and legend has it that whenever a new vessel was launched into the British Naval fleet, it was ‘commissioned’ with a bottle of Plymouth Gin. Today, it partners with the Ocean Conservation Trust (OCT) to support the regeneration of seagrass in the adjacent sea, through donations from the sale of specially designed limited-edition bottles.

Plymouth Honey will be available at various retailers from June, with an RRP of €42.
