Have you ever wondered what Navy strength actually means? And what's it got to do with Gin? Sit down and pour yourself a glass my friend and wonder no longer.
We enter the Royal British Navy, an organisation that liked their gin very boozy indeed. They found that if you mix a 'Navy' strength gin, around 57-58% with gunpowder [as you do when you're stuck on a boat for months on end with very little entertainment] - it still ignites if it has enough alcohol in it. "Proof" it's good, really.
Bit of food for thought while you enjoy this Australian slow sipping gin.
Tasting Notes:
Easy and simple slow sipper, juniper base, orange, clove and spiced cardamom.
TB Recommendations: Be brave = neat / on rocks Add tonic with Orange & clove = extra warmth Slice of ginger = extra kick
