Windspiel Navy Strength Gin

Windspiel Navy Strength Gin is a powerful and historically authentic expression, bottled at a robust 57.2% ABV (114.4 proof). This higher strength is rooted in a naval tradition that dictated gin carried aboard ships had to be strong enough to still allow gunpowder to ignite if accidentally spilled upon. Distilled in Germany using a signature base of locally grown potato spirit, Windspiel artfully blends classic juniper with delicate regional botanicals, including lavender, cardamom, and lemon. This combination delivers a full-bodied, yet harmonious flavor profile. On the palate, the increased proof intensifies the spirit's aromatic complexity, providing a bold core of juniper and spice, perfectly balanced by a velvety texture. It is ideal for crafting highly structured cocktails, such as a strong Martini or a Gin & Tonic where the gin’s character remains prominent.
