The Friends of Boringdon School in Plympton have commissioned an award-winning distillery to develop and manufacture a unique gin named ‘The Spirit of Plympton’ to mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The botanics to flavour the gin have been collected by local children from the town’s fields and hedgerows and the honey is from Plympton beehives too so the gin is completely unique and special to the area.
The Limited Edition, 70cl, 40% ABV Premium gin includes a generous donation to Plympton charities for every bottle sold.
Hannah Daragon, chair of the Friends of Boringdon School, said:
“It is great to be working on such a unique project in aid of Plympton charities. Plympton is really proud of its identity and we felt that naming the gin ‘The Spirit of Plympton’, with our iconic castle on the label, really does sum up the town.
“People are really excited as this is something a bit different and special so nobody wants to miss out as there are only a limited number of bottles being made!
“We hope that plenty of local people, whether they live here, work here or have any connection with Plympton, past or present, will raise a glass of our gin to toast the Queen on the Jubilee weekend – with the added bonus of local charities benefiting from every sip!’
Mrs Daragon added:
“And I can tell you, as one of only three people who have tasted the gin, it is absolutely delicious! Definitely the most fun I have had donating to charity in a long time!”
The bespoke Spirit of Plympton gin is due to be delivered in mid- May with collection before the Jubilee weekend in June.
It is available now, sold by pre-order only for £38 and orders must be placed by April 27. More details and how to order can be found at https://bit.ly/3uXoyhs
