At 57% ABV, this is a high strength, juniper-forward gin with a hint of dried orange peel.
What is Navy Strength Gin?
Bottled at 57% ABV, ‘Navy Strength’ gin harks back to when the British Royal Navy stored barrels of gin below deck, next to stocks of gunpowder. In case of leaks or spillages, the crews needed to ensure the gin had a high enough ABV to be flammable and therefore ‘gunpowder proof’, so the gunpowder would still burn.
The liquid
The higher ABV of Navy Strength amplifies the aroma of the botanicals, whilst delivering the balanced, elegant character that Whitley Neil is so well known for.
Juniper takes centre stage, met with a touch of orange peel along with coriander seed, angelica root and liquorice root powder.
