Gin description
Peebles Hydro once served as a Military hospital during WWII. Our award-winning Navy Strength Gin is named Honour of those injured, our heritage of hospitality preserved in waves of citrus and cardamom. Honours Gin won two awards within its first year of release. The Cardamom and dry citrus notes are all highlighted by the heightened alcohol content, this is unimaginably smooth. At 150 L our still ‘Felicity’ may be small but she can pack a punch. Our Navy Strength Gin is testament to that. Serve with our or your favourite tonic, a few dashes of Angostura bitters, a slice of orange and surrender to its irrepressible character. In the nose, juniper and grapefruit in abundance with a peppery, woody backing supplied by birch bark and angelica root. Robust pine flavours with pronounced spice, ginger and grapefruit character held at the fore by the heightened alcohol content. Despite its 57%ABV strength, this is an extremely smooth gin, with a rounded and creamy finish that stretches into the distance of the Peeblesshire hills.
