Plymouth Gin Navy Strength

Made with 7 botanicals this is a bold and vibrant version, steeped in the history of the British Royal Navy. The 57% abv amplifies the aroma and the fragrance of the botanicals, yet retains the smooth and abalanced character Plymouth Gin is renowned for.

When gunpowder goes bang the ’proof’ of the alcohol strength is at least 100 proof (114 US proof) or 57% alcohol by volume. The gunpowder was used as the test for ’proving’ there was the expected level of alcohol in the clear liquid. Plymouth Gin Navy Strength first went to sea in 1793 with the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy Supply Offices ’Pussers’ needed to check what they were buying was what they had ordered. The Pussers would use gunpowder.
