A Navy Strength, small batch gin from the Swedish distillery Hernö. Navy Strength means that gunpowder would still ignite if some of the high-strength gin was spilt on it. Not sure how much gunpowder a Swedish artisan gin distillery is going to come into contact with, but it's still a fantastic gin!
Fresh as a huge bundle of daisies, although we didn't smell any daisies. We would have changed it to "Fresh as a big bundle of pine trees and herbs", but that doesn't make much sense.
For a Navy strength gin, it's surprisingly mild, certainly milder than the regular Herno Dry. It's geared much more towards a creamy, vanilla taste.
A modern, tasty gin from a cold country that would greatly suit a warm day.

Totally fantastic!! Best!
The navy strength (57%) enhances the strength of the flavours and this is definitely flowery (rose) and citrus. I drink it with Fever Tree Indian Tonic, a lemon part and some dried rose flowers. Although opinions differ, I like the more explicit floral taste. It's distinctly different from other gins and that's not a bad thing at all!
I understand why it was the most awarded at Gin Masters 2013!
