Navy Strength Gin X-XLCR

Navy Strength Gin X-XLCR

Bronze Medal Winner at 2019 Australian Distilled Spirit Awards

An intense expression of our medal winning Gin XLCR in a 'Navy Strength' edition. Bold and vibrant, this gin carries citrus at its core with local cumquat and orange, with well balanced juniper and coriander spice to round out the palette this is the ideal refreshment for sipping on a hot summer afternoon.

Navy Strength?
Yup, before modern measurement techniques were developed, old salty sea dogs used a 'proof test' (Don't try it at home, please) pouring their gin on gunpowder and igniting it - if it burnt or went bang - it was over 57% - if not, they we're being sold weak alcohol not up to muster. In short, they could transport more alcohol with less weight in smaller vessels. 

Perfect for a bold martini, this strength with stand up to shaking on ice without too much dilution that would render it a damp squid (squib?)
