Plymouth Gin Distillery
Could there be a better place for a distillery than a port? Plymouth boasts the oldest gin distillery in the world. In production since 1793, Plymouth Gin is produced in Black Friars Distillery. This attraction is also housed in one of the oldest buildings in Plymouth. Originally the Black Friars monastery, the building was put to various uses after Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. The oldest part is the refectory room which dates to the 1400's and boasts a fine hull-shaped timber ceiling. Your tour will also take you to the distillery room, still room and tasting room. Be sure to stop in the refectory now housing a cocktail bar where you'd do well to sample one of the oldest and certainly one of the tastiest gins in the world.Location
