BATHTUB GIN 70CL NAVY STRENGTH 57%

This is the Navy-Strength edition of the famous Bathtub Gin from Professor Cornelius Ampleforth. As well as boasting a higher ABV than the original Bathtub Gin, this edition also has a bigger botanical punch thanks to the bashing up (technical term) of the botanicals to release more flavour. The story goes that the term Navy-Strength was the result of the British Navy demanding gin to be bottled at 57%abv so that if it was accidentally splashed on gunpowder, the powder would still ignite. It was more likely that it was a weight-saving measure but thats not as fun now is it? ------------------- Winner Worlds Best Compound Gin - 2015 World Gin Awards Gold Gold Navy Strength - 2015 The Gin Masters (The Spirits Business) Gold Gold Navy Strength - 2014 The Gin Masters (The Spirits Business)
