Big Bottom Distilling’s Navy Strength Gin, our second in-house distilled product since reopening, is a unique blend of 16 botanicals at a higher 114 proof (57% ABV).
What is Navy Strength?
During the 18th century, British maritime law mandated that Royal Navy vessels carry gin of a specific potency – one that could ignite gunpowder when poured over it, deemed “navy strength.” Today, Big Bottom Distilling pays homage to this seafaring legacy by crafting a robust yet sophisticated gin with a curated blend of 16 botanicals for a uniquely Pacific Northwest expression that defines true navy strength spirits.
With its hints of citrus and lemongrass, complex spice, and botanical-focused gin characters, Navy Strength Gin offers a unique flavor profile. It boasts a rich, full mouthfeel with earthy dark spices and a slightly sweet body that finishes with a lingering spice and crispness, inviting you to explore its long-lasting clean profile.
Big Bottom’s Navy Strength Gin was awarded a Bronze Medal at the 2015 Washington Cup Spirits Competition and a Bronze Medal at the 2015 Great American Spirits Festival. It also placed Bronze for the 2017 Best of the NW: Sip NW Spirits Competition for Best Gin.
Navy Strength Gin is an exceptionally versatile ingredient for your favorite gin cocktails. Ensuring a spirit forward profile regardless of mixers or ice, this gin is the perfect choice for any occasion.
