Navy Strength Gin
Anyway, the term “Navy Strength Gin” is a 1990s marketing creation to sell spirits which meet 100° UK Proof (114 modern proof), and are 57.1% ABV. The romantic and evocative term has stuck and today, high proof gins are often bottled at 57.1 ABV, though in our reviews we consider anything in this range or higher to be Navy Strength.
Navy Strength Gins are fantastic for cocktails as they maintain their gin character even in small quantities.
