Plymouth Navy Strength Gin

Very good clean taste. Probably my definitive navy strength. Dangerous stuff.

Disclaimer: all comments refer to sample served neat, no water added, unless otherwise noted. Light grapefruit, lemon, and lime zest on the nose, and continues on entry. Juniper makes a sudden appearance, fades in intensity, yet still lingers end-to-end. Remains thick and sweet throughout, BUT....the light and laid-back taste profile betrays the high-ABV. While the burn is admirably low for the ABV (or I'm just used to cask strength spirits), the copper still alcohol signature comes through stronger than expected, and clashes with the otherwise sublime palate. The spice/sweetness ratio is acceptable. With a dash of water, the flavors muted, while the copper/ethyl mix came through. While I am not one to drink anything on the rocks, that is the way to go for this spirit. The flavprs were still attenuated, but so were the offending characteristics. As a mixer, this would be hard to top
