Plymouth Navy Strength Dry Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

The all juniper distillate, is in effect watered down with Retribution Gin to a bottling strength of 58% abv. This gin is full of flavour and packs a punch for the more adventurous gin aficionados with strong flavours of cardamom and juniper coming through with ginger. We simply love it, and if you have the chance to try our Navy Strength, you’ll see of these ingredients really sing. As the stills heat up we constantly monitor the process, nosing and tasting as the distilled spirit as it comes off the still at different temperatures.

Perfect for a classic gin and tonic – fill a large Copa balloon gin glass with ice, pour in 50ml of gin and top up with a chilled premium Indian tonic.This gin continues the tradition of the Royal Navy’s ‘proof test’, whereby gunpowder can still ignite if gin is accidentally spilled upon it.
