The Story of Navy Strength Gin: Bold, Refined, and Rich in History

The Story of Navy Strength Gin: Bold, Refined, and Rich in History

The Capital Gin Navy Strength botanicals

Crafting a spirit is an art — one that carries whispers of history, tradition, and the pursuit of perfection. Our Navy Strength Gin is a testament to that legacy, meticulously triple-distilled and infused with a harmonious blend of botanicals: bright citrus, soothing lavender, warming ginger, fragrant coriander, classic juniper, and the subtle spice of cassia bark. But what makes it truly special is its bold strength and the storied past that inspired it.

The Origins of Navy Strength

The term “Navy Strength” harks back to the 18th century, when the British Royal Navy ensured that the gin aboard their ships was no less than 57% ABV. This wasn’t just a matter of preference — it was practical. If gin spilled onto the ship’s gunpowder, the powder would still ignite at this strength, ensuring safety in battle. Over time, this powerful spirit became synonymous with quality and robustness, a hallmark of a gin that doesn’t shy away from making an impression.

A Gin for the True Connoisseur

Our Navy Strength Gin pays homage to this tradition, but with a refined modern twist. The higher alcohol content intensifies the depth of flavor, allowing each botanical to sing. The piney juniper is bold yet balanced, the citrus zest adds a refreshing brightness, and the lavender lends an aromatic grace that lingers beautifully. Notes of ginger and cassia bark weave through the spirit, adding warmth and complexity with every sip.

The Perfect Sip

While many gins are designed for mixing, our Navy Strength is an experience in itself. Neat or over ice, it delivers a luxurious, full-bodied flavor that unfurls on the palate. It’s a spirit for those who appreciate the craftsmanship behind every drop — a drink meant to be savored, not rushed.

Whether you're a seasoned gin enthusiast or seeking a distinctive gift for someone special, our Navy Strength Gin invites you to explore a spirit with history, heart, and an unmistakable character. Raise a glass to tradition, to adventure, and to the enduring allure of a truly exceptional gin.
