Navy Strength Gin from the Winchester Distillery, created using an interesting combination of sea buckthron and gunpowder tea alongside the classic juniper. Gunpowder will still ignite if spilled over gunpowder if it's 57% (or so the story goes), which is why spirits were often that strength when taken on Naval ships, and this is where the Navy Strength terminology comes from. Using gunpowder tea is a neat connection these Hampshire-based distillers have made. Kudos.
A hearty core of spicy juniper is complemented by the bitter though creamy tea.
Excellent - very smooth
By God, this is gorgeous stuff... Gift this to someone you love, and loves you in return x
Best gin I’ve ever tasted and I’ve tried most of them, so smooth you do not require a mixer.
Surprisingly smooth and easy to drink for such a high strength gin, dangerous stuff!
Smooth
