Transparent color.
The nose is intense, predominantly juniper and floral notes, enriched with sensations of dried fruit, citrus and aromatic herbs.
Full and elegant taste, where the alcoholic strength of a Navy Gin is immediately felt and well balanced by the juniper in greater proportions than the classic Peter in Florence and the freshness of the citrus botanicals.
A great classic in the gin category, Navy Strength Gin has ancient origins.
Long before it was possible to measure the alcohol by volume of a drink, the Royal Navy faced this problem: ensuring that gunpowder remained flammable even if a cask of gin broke in transit.
In the days of cannonballs and muskets, in fact, wet gunpowder represented a death sentence in battle. The “Navy strength” label indicated the spirit was safe to transport on Navy ships and was only affixed to the barrels that passed the empirical test: after dipping a few grains of gunpowder into the gin, they tried to set them on fire. The Navy measurement continued until 1890 and still indicates a distillate with an alcohol content greater than 57.15%.
