Vigilant Navy Strength Gin 750ml

Vigilant Navy Strength Gin is a robust and flavorful spirit produced by Jos. A. Magnus & Co., designed to serve as a bold backbone for classic gin cocktails. Bottled at 114 proof (57% ABV), this gin is crafted from a 100% corn distillate, providing a clean and slightly sweet base. 

Botanical Profile: The gin's distinctive character arises from a unique blend of botanicals:

• 4-Year-Old Italian Juniper: Imparts traditional piney and resinous notes, offering a robust juniper presence.
• Smoky Harissa: Adds a subtle smoky and spicy dimension, enhancing the gin's complexity.
• Figs: Contribute a gentle sweetness and rich fruitiness to the profile.
• Fresh Mint: Introduces a refreshing, cooling effect that balances the spice.
• Lemon: Provides bright citrus notes, uplifting the overall flavor.
• Hops: Lend a slight bitterness and floral aroma, adding depth.
• Hibiscus: Offers subtle tartness and a hint of floral character.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Clear and pristine.
• Nose: Aromas of dried fruits, citrus zest, floral undertones, licorice, and hints of juniper.
• Palate: Rich and silky texture with complex flavors of fruit, citrus, spice, and mincemeat, complemented by herbal juniper notes. 
• Finish: Crisp and sophisticated with lingering warmth. 

Historical Context: The term "Navy Strength" dates back to the 18th century when British legislation required Royal Navy vessels to carry gin as a remedy for scurvy and malaria. Officers ensured the gin was at least 57% ABV, as this strength would still ignite gunpowder, confirming its potency.
