      That's interesting, as I'd of thought it'd be Tequila or Vodka for Whisky makers. Absinthe is likely the nearest in terms of Gin or so I'd view it as it's very herbal. Personally, Navy Strength Gin is my personal favorite. And a little history season on Navy Strength Gin. Also, do appreciate Jeremy's history lesson on Gin from Scotland.
      To put it into simple terms, the main difference is navy strength has a higher ABV "Alcohol by Volume". For Gin, I believe it has to be above 55% maybe a little higher to be truly classified as a Navy Strength. As for, the reason they've called it navy strength is they'd have gin stored beneath deck, often next to gunpowder kegs. The other proposed benefit, not sure if it's true or not, was that the gunpowder can still be fired if it gets soaked with this higher proof gin if the barrels began to leak for any reason. As for the origin, we've primarily got the British Navy to thank. The other aspect to it's growing providence was back in those days rum was actually being rationed and difficult to procure. Alcohol rations actually existed as far back as the early 16th Century before being totally abolished before the turn of the 21st Century. And lastly, the other difference is navy strength should impart more flavor as its dilution mixture is less than a regular proof gin. However, because of the way the alcohol influences taste you have to taste it in order to determine if you like it, just like any other gin or alcohol for that matter. Hope I gave a good enough explanation while trying to keep things somewhat short.
      Guess the quickest way to test if the gunpowder thing's true is to see if you can ignite a gin of that high a proof. In theory, it should ignite and burn. If it doesn't then myth busted I guess. That just goes into the myth further, as Naval Officers believed that if they were being sold an inferior gin or alcohol, thus the reason they'd attempt to ignite it to prove its authenticity. Which actually would prove true because there is a state of proof at which alcohol ignites. What that proof happens to be exactly, I couldn't tell you. I'd have to say over 50% or 100 proof. Anything less is more water than alcohol if it's under 50%.
      Lit alcohol goes way back. In the 1700-1800s, at least here in the U.S. there were stories of tavern owners lighting samples of whiskey that dealers brought in. If the whiskey caught fire, it was proof that it wasn’t watered down, meaning cask strength, or between 50-60 percent ABV. Things are a lot more scientific these days. We now know that it’s the alcohol vapor that catches fire, not the liquid, just like with gasoline. More vapor comes off the alcohol as the alcohol heats up, making it easier for it to light. Colder alcohol means less vapor, which means less chance for flames. The vapor likely also impacts what you can use as a lighter. And because of the vapors on certain drinks, some prove harder to lit or harder to extinguish.

They also have a navy strength version. One of the botanical it is flavoured with is seaweed (tång in Swedish) and to be honest my two favorite gins are both flavoured with seaweed. I don't know if it is in my head because I love to sail and live in the Stockholm archipelago or if the seaweed actually makes the gin better.

    Uncle Val’s botanical is phenomenal… on chipped ice or w/ a juice. Bluecoat barrel aged is another wonderful gin on ice.

    i live in rural england so its much more accesible to me however mermaid pink gin is the best gin ive ever tasted, im not a pink gin drinker however they make it by adding berry botanicals through the distilation process with their amazing blend and it just tastes amazing

    This was great. I have/have had most of the gins here in my freezer. It is delightful how different they are. Botanist is my absolute favorite. It drinks well in basically every instance (use it in a mule; it really holds its own against the ginger beer.) I enjoy Roku, but it's best as a straight sipper. It's so delicate that once you add anything to it, it disappears almost entirely.

    Good lord. I've been using theginisin for 10+ years, I completely agree. They've done an amazing job over the years of curating to the visitor and of the 100's of gins I've had over the years, they're spot on. I'm beyond happy to see them recognized.
    I suppose if it's my time to shine, my recommendations are the following: The Botanist for herbal and juniper front, Monkey 47 for possibly the neatest gin with a complex mouth feel, Bombay Sapphire East for the perfect Gin and Tonic. For Tonic: Fever Tree for flavor and carbonation, period.
    Cut of lime, squeeze, gin, 5 cubes of ice, tonic water to the brim.
    If you want to impress, 1 leaf Thai Basil, scratched, on top.

    Ungava Gin from Quebec is produced from local botanicals found around Ungava Bay. Very unique flavour and a yellowish colour. Not widely available but worth searching out. Gin Mare from Spain is also very unique, very Mediterranean herb based.

    Never thought of Roku as herbal, but I guess I will look for those notes next time I try it. Really interesting video!

    When I was 18 (legal age in Alberta), I discovered I loved cocktails! Especially hi-balls and Paralyzers. My work mom encouraged me to try martinis, but said: Never get gin. It's terrible.
    As a youngun, new to the ways of spirits, I trusted her advice.
    20+ years later, shortly before turning 39, I tried some gin from a local distillery and was amazed at how absolutely AWESOME! it was!
    Now I have about 30 or so different gins, running the gamut from small batch, 100% local ingredients, all the way up to at least one commercial gin.

    I've never been into gin. I was introduced to Isle of Harris Gin (Scotland), and now I'm on board. So tasty, I'm open to trying more now. I'd love to see a review of Isle of Harris!
