Black Friars Distillery Plymouth Navy Strength Gin
(England)
(750ml)

About this Gin:

Gin had to be Navy Strength as it was stored next to the gunpowder below deck. A lower alcohol percentage like the today’s original with 41,2% would damage the gunpowder if it was to leak on the gunpowder. The Navy Strength with 57% is a flammable liquid and would therefore not damage the gunpowder. These days, no self-respecting bartender would omit it from their arsenal either.

Botanical blend: Angelica, coriander, cardamom, range, orris, lemon, juniper, 

Big botanicals make Navy Strength the perfect ingredient for big drinks like a no-nonsense Negroni. 

Tasting Notes:

Strong can be subtle. Big and bold, but still perfectly balanced. A gin for real gin lovers.
You would not put a bantam with a heavyweight, and it is the same way with Navy Strength. 

Nose: A heady aroma, powered by our seven time-honoured botanicals.

Palate: A little muscle goes a long way, and this extra-strength take on Plymouth Gin Original certainly packs a punch: go all-in with the zing of citrus and juniper,

Finish: Everything in moderation: Balanced by gentler notes of green cardamom and sweet orange.
