Chapter One Navy Strength is our “fiction” masterpiece, big and bold and whimsically unexpected. Fiction allows a writer to create unrestrained, and we certainly took that to heart. Hand bottled at 114 proof, this gin has a bright citrus backbone and layers of complex flavor. This is a protagonist you won’t soon forget.

Cassia bark and fresh lime and grapefruit peel provide a lush palate while the traditional juniper and coriander botanicals complete this surprisingly smooth yet lustrously bold gin.

Elevate your Negroni or let it shine in a Last Word, just don’t spill any on your gunpowder. Not that it would keep it from igniting (hence the history of Navy Strength gin), but you shouldn’t ever spill gin in the first place.
