What Is Navy Strength Gin?

Navy Strength Gin is a high-proof gin with an alcohol content of at least 57% ABV. The name "Navy Strength" dates back to the British Royal Navy, where gin was carried aboard ships. The high proof was required so that if it accidentally spilled on gunpowder, the gunpowder would still ignite. This high proof also gives Navy Strength Gin its robust and intense flavour, making it perfect for mixing in cocktails where the gin's bold botanicals can still shine through.

Navy Strength Gin is made using traditional gin botanicals such as juniper, coriander, and citrus, but the higher alcohol content amplifies these flavours, resulting in a more intense and aromatic spirit.

How Navy Strength Gin Is Made: A Step-by-Step Guide

• Botanical Selection: Just like London Dry Gin, Navy Strength Gin starts with juniper as the primary botanical, with other botanicals such as coriander seeds, angelica root, or citrus peels added for complexity.
• Distillation: The botanicals are distilled with a neutral grain spirit, with no sweeteners or additives added post-distillation, maintaining the gin’s dry character. The gin is distilled to a high proof, resulting in a stronger flavour and higher alcohol content.
• Bottling: After distillation, the gin is bottled at a minimum of 57% ABV, preserving the bold and intense flavours of the botanicals. No dilution or additional flavourings are added to maintain the spirit's strength and purity.

• Classic Navy Strength Gin: Traditional high-proof gins that stay true to the classic juniper-forward profile, with bold, vibrant flavours perfect for cocktails or sipping neat.

Navy Strength Gin vs. London Dry Gin: What’s the Difference?

Both Navy Strength Gin and London Dry Gin are made using a similar process, but there are key differences that set them apart:

Alcohol Content

Navy Strength Gin has a higher alcohol content of at least 57% ABV, whereas London Dry Gin typically ranges between 40-47% ABV. The higher proof in Navy Strength Gin intensifies the flavours and provides a more robust drinking experience.

Flavour Intensity

While both styles of gin feature juniper as the dominant botanical, Navy Strength Gin delivers bolder and more concentrated flavours due to the higher alcohol content. This makes it an ideal choice for cocktails where the gin needs to stand out against other strong ingredients.
