Conniption Navy Strength Gin comes to us all the way from Durham, North Carolina, with a combination of distillation methods used to achieve its punchy flavour profile. A selection of botanicals, including juniper, cardamom, caraway, coriander and rosemary are vapour infused in a pot still, while citrus and fig are vacuum distilled at room temperature separately, keeping their delicate sweetness intact. They're then combined and bottled at a robust 57% ABV, meaning this will definitely stand out in your cocktail and mixed drinks, even with less liquid used! it's terrific in a Negroni, we'll have you know.
Spicy as it opens with earthy cardamom and black pepper. Caraway brings an anise-like sweetness, with fig rounding it out.
Ive been collecting gins for a few years now and love my navy strengths, thought I would try this based on online reviews and wow !!! Crisp, smooth, a lovely lingering aftertaste mixed with a light tonic. Absolutely love it, strongly recommend !!!!!
Truly an incredible gin! The perfect balance of gin flavours and smoothness (amazing smoothness for 57% ABV) is unmatched (and I've tasted a LOT of gins to know). It is wonderful in a martini or a G&T, but in a Negroni it is truly sublime! If this is a 5-star gin, Tanqueray No. Ten and The Botanist must be 4.5-stars in comparison.
