Whitley Neill Navy Strength London Dry Gin
70cl / 57.00% - Whitley Neill Navy Strength is a premium gin bottled at a robust 57% ABV, inspired by the tradition of Navy Strength gin from back in the days when the British Royal Navy kept barrels of gin below deck near gunpowder supplies. The high alcohol content ensured that in the event of a leak, the gin would still be flammable, keeping the gunpowder viable for use. This necessity gave rise to the term "Navy Strength," signifying a gin with a higher ABV.Juniper is the star botanical here alongside coriander seed, angelica root, liquorice root powder, and dried orange peel. Fresh lime peel also took centre stage, as a nod to the limes the British Navy gave its sailors to ward off scurvy, which also gave rise to their nickname Limeys amongst American sailors who were dubious about this technique.
