Tiny Bear Sailor Gin 700ml Overproof

Have you ever wondered what Navy strength actually means? And what's it got to do with Gin?

Sit down and pour yourself a glass my friend and wonder no longer.

 

We enter the Royal British Navy, an organisation that liked their gin very boozy indeed. They found that if you mix a 'Navy' strength gin, around 57-58% with gunpowder [as you do when you're stuck on a boat for months on end with very little entertainment] - it still ignites if it has enough alcohol in it.  "Proof" it's good, really.

 

Bit of food for thought while you enjoy this slow sipper.  

 

A bold driven Navy, with a powerful punch of Juniper, tart notes from full fresh oranges and spice from cardamom and clove. Best served as a slow sipper with a slice of orange and a clove. Is great in cocktails due to it powerful flavour profile.

 

Recommendations:

be brave = neat / on rocks

Add tonic with

Orange & clove = extra warmth

Slice of ginger = extra kick
