Plymouth "Navy Strength" Gin

[slkinsey]

I've been very interested in trying Plymouth Navy Strength Gin at 100 proof. This is, I am given to understand, the "real" original Plymouth and I think there are a number of cocktails that would benefit from this higher octane version.

Has anyone tried it? Is it available in America? Anyone seen it for sale in NYC?

Have tried it; is not available in America or in New York. Is 114 proof. Is good.

I have a bottle at home, and will be more than happy taste you and Splificator on it one of these, fine days....I have had it in mind to have a conversation with Simon (brand ambassador) to see if we can get here; thanks for reminding me.

Plymouth Gin 57% was the last gin and tonic my wife ever drunk and that was about 7 years ago.

Made her a nice strong one and then we jumped on our bikes and peddled as quickly as possible to the cinema. When she hopped off the bike she went temporarily blind (for about 2 minutes) and has never touched gin since.

Jeez, that's a scary story. I assume she also gave up cycling? And going to the cinema? Good thing you hadn't just eaten white truffles (imagine having to give those up). Or just had sex. Gawd, the mind boggles.

Marco,

yes the mind boggles
