The original term ‘Navy Strength’ refers back to the British Navy in the eighteenth century where gin was an integral part of every sailor’s daily rations. After some issues with wily spirit merchants short-changing them with watered down versions they discovered that if it was poured onto gunpowder and the gunpowder smoked or failed to light, it must have been diluted. Only if the gunpowder still lit was the gin ‘legitimate’ and in those days that meant 114 proof (or 57 ABV). Not all of the gins on this list are full navy strength, but all are well above the standard ABV for gin ... you’ve been warned!

Expect less emphasis on juniper, and a host of other botanicals taking centre stage, often plants or spices local to where the gin is produced, with some even aged in oak casks like a good whisky or rum. The only rule is: there are no rules.
