There are several types of gin though Plymouth gin is one of the few types of gin that is geologically guarded as well. Plymouth Gin can only be made in Plymouth, England. Funny enough, right now there is only one distillery there called the Plymouth Gin Co. Plymouth Gin tends to be a cleaner, drier gin. It’s less juniper and can usually get your stubborn friends to make the leap to gin.
