Do you know the story behind the name? Technically, Navy Strength is gin with an alcohol content of more than 57.15%. The high alcohol content is for practical reasons. The British Navy transports gin in wooden barrels together with black powder under deck in its sailing ships. If the barrels leaked, the gunpowder would get wet, and wet gunpowder would not burn. That is, unless the alcohol had a strength of over 57.15%. Practically thought out, and the problem was solved. This is how the story of Navy Strength gin came to be!
