Hayman's Royal Dock Navy Strength Gin 70 cl 57%

The name Royal Dock references the historic bonded docks of London, where gin was tested for exactly the strength that ensured spilled spirit could not extinguish gunpowder aboard naval ships.

Expert's description

Hayman's Royal Dock Navy Strength Gin is an English Navy Strength Gin, bottled at 57%.

The gin is built on the house's classic botanicals with emphasis on angelica and coriander for pepperiness and licorice root for a creamy texture.

The high strength markedly intensifies all the botanicals, giving a fullness that sets it apart from the house's standard London Dry Gin.

The style is bright, bracing and smooth with a fine balance of juniper, coriander and citrus, without tasting overpowering despite the strength.

Tasting notes

Nose

The nose is aromatic with citrus and floral notes, namely orange blossom, alongside crisp pine-accented juniper and hints of angelica, coriander and citrus zest.

Palate

The palate is smooth with an intensity of flavour thanks to the higher strength, where zesty orange peel and dried lemon accompany a heady, unabiding juniper-dominated mid-palate.

Finish

The finish is long and protracted with pleasing juniper flavours, a gentle dash of floral, violet and sweet orange, and a persistent but pleasant heat.
