Taste

Upfront juniper pine and a warm savoury spice are paired in equal measure with the herbaceous sweetness of orange and the dark-blue fruits of elderberry. Big mouthfeel and oily on the pallet. Complex and meaningful.

Navy Strength
‘Overproof’ gin

In the 18th century, if your gin-soaked gunpowder still burned clear, then that was all the ‘proof’ you needed – 114 proof or 57% ABV, in fact.

Big botanical flavour

That higher alcohol proof is bolstered with a big botanical recipe forward in juniper, sweet Seville orange, marsh samphire and elderberries.

A righteous cause

Distilled and enjoyed in honour of centuries of courageous men and women who have risked and lost their lives at sea.

Bold & delicious

Don’t fear the Navy Strength, dilute it! For big G&Ts or zingy Gin Mules, the big flavours of a Navy Strength Gin steals the show.

The Ten Botanicals of the Navy Strength Gin

Wonderfully big and bold, this classic Navy Strength Gin is led by dry piney juniper, punctuated perfectly with a herbaceous jammy sweetness from marsh samphire, elderberries and Seville orange that jumps out of the glass in a long G&T.

Marsh Samphire

Salicornia europaea

Once distilled the salt is left behind in the still, adding to the Dorset Dry only the luscious and herbaceous green notes akin to green tea and a remarkable caramel sweetness.

Elderberry

Sambucus

The last botanical to join the Dorset Dry recipe – cooling blue fruit that calms the peaks and troughs of our botanical recipe. A good nose can pick out the lingering jammy finish of the Dorset Dry.

Juniper Berry

Juniperus communis

The vital component in gin and the headline act in the Dorset Dry.

Coriander Seed

Coriandrum sativum

A usual suspect in a London Dry, and used in the Dorset Dry in the absence of lemon peel in the botanical mix.

Angelica Root

Angelica archangelica

Works as a drying agent in the Dorset Dry, adding a bitterness that’s essential to its classic, London Dry gin foundation.

Orris Root

Iris germanica

Used less for its flavour and more for its trickery in binding and enhancing flavours, giving longevity to the gin.

Cassia Bark

Cinnamomum cassia

Cassia bark adds a layer of sweet spiced complexity to the Dorset Dry, bridging the gaps between the piney juniper and the bold citrus melody of coriander seed, bitter orange and lime.

Bitter Orange Peel

Citrus aurantium

Welcoming notes of warm rich sweet citrus that round off the spice and heat from juniper and cassia bark. This comforting orange is paired with the bright, crisp punctuation of fresh lime peel.

Fresh Lime Peel

Citrus × latifolia

Subtle when neat, yet when diluted with tonic the lime peel jumps forward, self-garnishing the drink with a refreshing lime zest bite. Clawingly dry, moreish and inviting.
