Tanglin Black Powder Gin

Detailed Description

Black Powder, our Navy Strength Gin, is a punchy 58% ABV making it an ideal Cocktail Gin, but still super smooth for sipping. Based on our Orchid Gin, we tinkered by bruising half the Junipers and added whole fresh lemons for a well-rounded gin with a bright citrus note. Why Black Powder? Centuries ago, a Chinese Alchemist created gunpowder. The Europeans heard about magical fireworks and exploding weapons, so they went to China in search of the Black Powder. Navy Strength Gin came from these and similar expeditions. It has to be above 57% ABV, the strength at which gin-drenched gunpowder still ignites when lit. Gin was rationed to sailors as a daily drink, so this test was frequently used to check against unscrupulous employers. An admiral solution to ensuring a great drink.
