Plymouth Honey: A Unique Gin Experience
Plymouth Gin has long been a cornerstone of cocktail culture, with a storied history since 1793. Now, the brand has introduced a delightful new expression—Plymouth Honey—making its way to the U.S. market. Alongside this launch, the brand has curated a limited-edition Bee's Knees Cocktail Courier Kit, designed for summer enjoyment and gifting.
A Rich Heritage
Crafted in the historic Black Friars Distillery, Plymouth Gin is steeped in nautical tradition, and its new Honey expression builds on that legacy. The gin’s inception was marked by the unique demands of sailors seeking a spirit that could survive the rigors of sea travel, leading to a gin that is as refreshing as it is rich in flavor.
Plymouth Honey has become the fourth member of the Plymouth Gin family in America, joining the ranks of its acclaimed original Dry Gin. This new offering presents an intriguing twist, marrying golden bee honey with the classic juniper and herbal notes that gin aficionados adore.
Flavor Profile
Plymouth Honey is more than just a visually appealing spirit. It opens with inviting aromas of sun-warmed honey, perfectly balanced with hints of juniper. On the palate, delightful notes of honey and vanilla gracefully dance with an earthy, citrus finish. This harmonious combination provides a delightful experience whether served straight or in a cocktail.
The recommended serving, the Bee’s Knees, is a refreshing concoction that brings together the sweet essence of honey with the zing of lemon over a sturdy foundation of Plymouth honey-infused gin. This makes it perfect for summer gatherings, satisfying both casual drinkers and cocktail enthusiasts alike.
The Cocktail Courier Kit
To celebrate the arrival of Plymouth Honey, the accompanying Cocktail Courier Kit elevates the drinking experience to new heights. Housed in a beautifully designed package, each kit features:
- - A 750ml bottle of Plymouth Honey

This event promises to bring together bartenders and tastemakers to celebrate the intersection of creativity and cocktail culture. Notably, it will feature Natalie Migliarini, a prominent figure in modern mixology, known for her diverse skill set as a bartender, stylist, and photographer.
