If you wish for peace, prepare for war.

This is the motto of the British Royal Navy, but let’s not get carried away!

However we can thank them for ensuring that a gin had to be over 54.5% alcohol in barrels, as this would ensure that if it spilt over the gunpowder it could still be used (the gunpowder that is).

We bottle ours at 57% to ensure it is big on flavour for a serious cocktail.

“Hello Sailor” and bottoms up.

You’re welcome!
