O'GIN NEW NAVY

The history navy strength gin is just another chapter in the fascinating and war thorn history of gin itself. We may thank the British navy, not only for navy strength gin but for gin as we know it today. There is no doubt that the Royal British Navy has played a key role in both the production, consumption, and prevalence of gin. The use of exotic spices in gin was made possible by imports from Africa and Asia. Gin’s prevalence around the world is due to sailors setting foot in new cities and on new continents. We have all heard about the rum rations in the navy. Unknown to a lot of people is the fact that, while the enlisted men subsisted on rum, Royal Navy officers drank gin. The practice of issuing alcohol rations in the navy started sometime in the 16th century. It started with beer, and sometimes vine and ended up with rum and gin. The practice of issuing alcohol rations was abolished in the Royal Navy in 1970. However, the Royal New Zealand Navy abolished the practice as late as 1990. Source: East Imperial. Navy Strength takes us back to traditional naval gin with a touch of tropical fruit and floral notes with a crisp, mouth-warming spiciness. Its alcohol content is slightly lower than the traditional recipe (54%). The style must have at least 57.17%, but Brazilian legislation does not allow spirits with alcohol above 54%. The alcohol very well inserted into the recipe converts into a softness in the mouth that makes this volume almost imperceptible. At New Nave, the floral touch and slightly spicy aroma give the product a special touch. A lighter touch of alcohol than the traditional recipe, gives smoothness to the palate. Alcohol content: 54%.
