Description: Navy Strength Gin is a high-proof gin that is perfect for adding a bold, flavorful backbone to classic gin cocktails. This gin is crafted from 100% corn distillate that has been steeped and distilled with smoky harissa, giving it a dry-medium body with a sophisticated finish. The flavor profile of Navy Strength Gin is complex and well-balanced, with notes of 4-year-old Italian juniper, figs, fresh mint, lemon, hops, and hibiscus. This gin is sure to pack a punch at 114 proof, and it is a must-have for any gin lover. The term "Navy Strength" dates back to the 18th century, when legislation was passed in Britain requiring every vessel of the Royal Navy to have a certain quantity of gin on board as a preventive measure for scurvy and malaria. It was discovered that only gin that was at least 57% ABV (alcohol by volume) would still ignite gunpowder, and thus the term "Navy Strength" was born.
