Matthew Calbraith Perry served as Commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard from 1841-43. As early as 1833 he was instrumental in founding its Naval Lyceum to ‘promote the diffusion of useful knowledge – and cement the link which unite professional bretheren.’ Bottled at 57% ABV.
They celebrate the attitude and approach that connects the ingenuity and grit of 19th century Brooklyn with contemporary enthusiasts who continue to revive an American cocktail culture. This original Navy Strength Gin – at 57% ABV – is the historical proof at which gunpowder might still be fired should it unfortunately be soaked by spilled spirit. ‘Tot’, a British measurement for alcohol, gives nod to Navy Strengths roots. Aromatic and smooth, Perry’s is ideal for the gin aficionado.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Quite Traditional And Juniper Led But With A Creamy, Syrupy Naturally Sweetness And Floral Roundness, That Almost Certainly Comes From The Wild Flower Honey.
Palate: Big And Juniper Led With Citrus, Especially Grapefruit.
Finish: Earthy Orange And Juniper.
