About Plymouth Navy Strength Gin
Plymouth Navy Strength Gin is a true testament to the heritage and excellence of one of England’s oldest distilleries. Its rich history dates back to 1793, when it specialized in providing gin to the British Royal Navy. What makes this gin unique is its potency. Clocking in at 57% ABV, it adheres to the navy’s tradition of requiring spirits to be of high enough strength that, if spilled on gunpowder during sea voyages, the powder would still ignite. Another notable feature is that it is a single source gin, meaning that all of its production, from grain to bottle, occurs within the confines of the distillery. So, if you’re looking to buy a gin online with a robust flavor profile and intense strength, Plymouth Navy Strength Gin is the cult classic you need in your collection.
