Navy Strength Gin

Navy Strength Gin boasts a robust history, originating in the 18th century when the British Royal Navy provisioned this potent spirit for its sailors. The term “Navy Strength” refers to the gin’s high proof, typically around 57% alcohol by volume, which was deemed safe to store near gunpowder on ships. If the gin were to spill on the gunpowder, the powder could still ignite, proving the gin’s potency. This higher alcohol content not only ensured the gunpowder’s safety but also provided sailors with a durable, high-quality spirit that could withstand long sea voyages, making it a revered choice among seafarers.

Navy Strength Gin, with its robust 57% ABV, offers a bold and intensified flavor profile that appeals to gin enthusiasts seeking a more potent experience. This category of gin is characterized by a pronounced juniper presence, complemented by an array of botanicals such as citrus peel, coriander, and cardamom, which are perceptible even at high alcohol levels. The higher proof results in a richer and more aromatic taste, enhancing the gin’s natural flavors and providing a warm, lingering finish. Ideal for cocktails that demand a strong gin presence, Navy Strength Gin delivers a powerful, yet balanced, botanical punch.

For cheese pairings, opt for blue cheese or aged cheddar to match the spirit’s complexity. Finally, for a refreshing contrast, try pairing it with dark chocolate or a citrusy dessert to highlight the gin’s aromatic characteristics.
