Breathtaking and dramatic Bareksten Navy Strength Gin also comes in a high alcohol strength version. In the mighty Norwegian forests, where sunlight rarely penetrates, the story of this gin unfolds.
The gin is made from the finest ingredients, such as: juniper berries, angelica root, licorice root, and other mysterious herbs. This gin has a very rich and complex flavor, characterized by subtle notes of citrus and spices. Moreover, its distinctive feature is the high alcohol content of up to 58 %.
The term "Navy Strength" - this term originated in the 18th century in the British Navy. At that time, gin was stored near gunpowder, and soon some officers realized that if gunpowder was dampened with gin, it would still ignite at 57% ABV (114 proof) or higher. They mixed gunpowder with gin, heated it using the sun and a magnifying glass, and if it ignited, it had 57% or more. This was the only reliable method and it worked to prove that the gin had a higher concentration, so 57% became the standard concentration for the navy.
