Plymouth Gin has launched a second ‘Ocean Edition’ bottle in partnership with ocean charity, Ocean Conservation Trust (OCT).
Inspired by the sea and the work that OCT does with seagrass conservation, the blue-tinted bottle features swirling leaves of seagrass. The colour is baked into the glass and both the label and bottle are both made using recycled and 100% recyclable materials.
Plymouth Gin’s work with OCT has, so far, centred on the charity’s ‘Blue Meadows’ project in Falmouth, which looks to protect local seagrass meadows. It aims to protect around 700 hectares over the next five years, restoring them to the quantity and quality of how they were 60 years ago. Almost half of the UK’s seagrass beds have been lost since the 1930s, making it the fastest-disappearing habitat on the planet.
Ian Peart, Commercial Director for Pernod Ricard UK, commented: “This new limited-edition bottle is the most recent step in Plymouth Gin’s three-year partnership with the OCT with both organisations situated amongst the stunning scenery of the south-west coast.
“The Plymouth Gin distillery has its home on Plymouth harbour, at the heart of the local community, and, like gin is to tonic, its story is anchored in the benefits of the surrounding sea.”
The Plymouth Gin Ocean Edition Limited Edition (ABV 41.2%) comes in a 70cl bottle with an RSP of £20.
