The Juniper Society at London’s Graphic Bar is fast becoming a mecca for ginlovers especially as a result of its regular gatherings showcasing individual gins to a knowledgeable group of aficianados. The Martini Session run by Plymouth Gin was the biggest Juniper Society turnout yet appropriate since Plymouth was the first brand mentioned in the one of the first recorded recipes for the iconic Martini. .
