By 1850, Coates \u0026amp; Co, the makers of Plymouth Gin, supplied over 1,000 casks of Navy Strength gin to the Royal Navy each year, and the Royal Navy created the Gimlet with Plymouth Gin and lime cordial. Grain spirit is distilled with water from Dartmoor National Park and seven time-honoured botanicals: juniper, coriander seed, orange and lemon peel, green cardamom, angelica root and orris root.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA heady aroma powered by the seven botanicals leads to an intense, juniper-rich palate with citrus and spice.
