Bathtub Gin Navy-Strength is a robust and flavorful gin crafted by Ableforth's in the United Kingdom. This expression elevates the original Bathtub Gin by increasing the alcohol content to 57% ABV, a nod to the traditional 'Navy Strength' standard. The production process involves hand-crushing botanicals such as juniper, coriander, cassia bark, cardamom, orange peel, and cloves, which are then steeped in the spirit for a brief period. This method results in a gin with intensified flavors and a rich, complex profile. The nose presents bold citrus and juniper aromas, complemented by warm spices like cinnamon and cardamom. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience with pronounced spice and citrus notes, leading to a long, lingering finish. Bathtub Gin Navy-Strength has been recognized with multiple awards, including the Contemporary Gin Trophy at the 2017 International Wine & Spirit Competition and Best Compound Gin at the World Gin Awards for three consecutive years.

The documented recipe combines coriander, cardamom, cloves, cassia bark, juniper, orange peel 2. Taste it with cold tonic, then let a little dilution clarify the botanical finish.

For the recommended gin and tonic, use 5 cl of Bathtub Gin Navy-Strength, 15 cl of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, and orange peel twist and two cloves. Serve with generous, fresh ice and let the aromas open gradually. The recommended tonic is deliberately neutral enough to preserve the gin character, while the selected garnish gives a focused aromatic lift. Take a first sip immediately after stirring, then return after a moment as the dilution softens the alcohol and brings the mid-palate into balance. This measured approach keeps the tasting advice and the Perfect Serve aligned from nose to finish.
