Description

This is the award-winning Navy-Strength edition of the famous (and also award-winning) Bathtub Gin. As well as boasting a higher ABV than the original Bathtub Gin, this edition also has a bigger botanical punch thanks to the 'bashing up' (technical term) of the botanicals to release more flavour.

The story goes that the term Navy-Strength was the result of the British Navy demanding gin to be bottled at 57% abv so that if it was accidentally splashed on gunpowder, the powder would still ignite. It was more likely that it was a weight-saving measure but that's not as fun now is it?

Nose

The additional abv is immediately apparent, but well-tempered by a huge whack of citrus. After the initial hit of juniper and citrus, the spices are easily accessible – far more so than in the standard Bathtub. Top-notes of cinnamon and cardamom are supported by the earthier coriander and clove. Overall, this has one of the best noses I've ever experienced on a gin.

Palate

Huge, mouth-filling, oily and complex. The initial burst of flavour comes courtesy of the spices – cardamom, cinnamon, then follows the citrus and juniper backbone, before settling into a wonderful melange of that coriander and clove combination. Absolutely fantastic.

Finish

Incredibly long and lingering, with the cinnamon and clove jostling for position for literally minutes after the initial sip.

Overall

We talk about ‘sipping gins’ all the time, but I’m not convinced anyone is actually buying it. This, my friends, is the exception. An absolutely ridiculously flavour-packed spirit, far beyond the reaches of what would be possible using distillation alone as a method of manufacture. Just remarkable…

Lovely!

As good as the standard bathtub gin, great flavours but an extra kick, especially in the warming aftertaste.

Matthew Thomas Jan 6, 2023

Nice

Bang on

Master of Malt Customer Feb 14, 2020

Yummy!

Fantastic Gin. Beautiful flavours. Can enjoy it neat. On the rocks. Or with tonic. Simply super.

Master of Malt Customer Jan 27, 2018

Amazing!

This is one gin. Probably the only gin. That you can drink neat. Simply stunning.

Master of Malt Customer Jan 27, 2018

Looking forward to this.

Great reviews, utterly dreadful label. Am certainly trying this and looking forward to it. A shame they have such a horrible Art Nouveau-styled label...a label should talk to its' product's name. There is nothing either Bathtub (read: Prohibition) or Navy about that label, though I won't let that put me off.
