Plymouth Gin Navy Strength 70cl
Setting the standard for Navy Strength Gin's, this is a gin with a real naval history
Description
Plymouth Gin - Navy Strength
For nearly two centuries, there wasn't a (British) Royal Navy ship that left port without a bottle of this gin on-board, and its due to this that this type of gin gets its name (read more bout this on our Navy Strength Gin Blog)
Using a relatively short number of botanicals (7), this gin is intense, bold and particularly aromatic. The botanicals used in its creation are Juniper berries, coriander seed, orange and lemon peels, angelica root, green cardamom and orris root.
With a high abv of 57%, this is definitely an intense gin. It has a citrus aroma to it, with some heat and a hint of the juniper. The flavour is similar to this, with a real punch of the citrus notes and the juniper coming through towards the end.

Perfect Serve
This is a particularly powerful gin, so works well in the mix, without losing itself in the drink. In particular we loved this in both an Aviation and a Negroni.
For a more classic longer drink, this works well with Fentimans Connoisseurs Tonic in a Gin Tonic. In a large glass filled with ice, add 50ml of the gin and top up with 150ml of the tonic. Garnish this with a slice of lime, as this helps balance the strong lemon flavours in the gin.
