A Navy Strength variation of Plymouth Gin, bottled up at a hefty 57% ABV. In fact, this gin was supplied to the Royal Navy for nearly 200 years! It features a classic combination of botanicals, including the likes of juniper, orange peel, lemon peel, green cardamom, coriander, angelica and orris, resulting in a complex but not overpowering flavour profile. Particularly handy for cocktails, this stuff.
Rosemary and lavender, hints of pine resin, zest and juniper.
Lavender and juniper on the palate, huge citrus zest notes, a little coriander seed.
Wood resin, hints of caraway seeds and citrus.
£4.29 - £51.95
Superb gin, despite its alcohol strength it's very easy drinking and very smooth. Will need to buy more soon! I drink it with a large chunk of ice and fever tree tonic, nothing else.
I enjoy this, usually in a gin and tonic. in my view a good gin and tonic should be cold, sparkling and reasonably alcoholic. Use of extra strength gin means that less is required, and the mixed gin and tonic is better/more sparkling. The gin is often at room temperature, and use of a smaller volume volume of extra strength gin results in a colder mixture, presuming that the tonic is kept in the fridge. For a change, try it mixed with the semi frozen "slush" drinks marked for children, and seldom consumed by adults, but nice with gin.
Navy Strength is in my opinion, the Quintessential Gin. It is perfect, and is my 'benchmark' when we are running Gin-tasting evenings at my club. On my evenings, I work on the basis that there are 3 main types of Gin: Standards, Character (encompassing all of the various fashionable gins with their plethora of flavours) and finally, the category that I reserve for the very best, including Navy Strength - Stand-alone Gins. These Gins , and there are not many of them, have the complexity of flavours and notes that put them in the same class as a fine Cognac or a favourite Malt Whisky. A drink that can be drunk neat, normally as a night-cap, with just an ice-cube to get it down to the right temperature.
Smooth
Lovely and creamy Gin goes down a treat and very easy to drink
