Plymouth Gin Distillery

Fodor's Choice

At the Black Friars Distillery, Plymouth's most famous export, gin, has been distilled since 1793. You can purchase bottles of sloe gin, damson liqueur, fruit cup, or the fiery "Navy Strength" gin that traditionally was issued to the Royal Navy. Learn the full story on walking tours around the distillery, ending with a sampling in the wood-paneled Refectory Cocktail Lounge. The building originally housed a friary and was where the Pilgrims spent their last night on English soil in 1620.
