Badachro Gin - 57° Storm Strength

Gin description

Badachro Gin 57° Storm Strength is a full flavoured, high strength version of the well know Badachro Gin. Originally created for cocktail use, it’s becoming rather popular for making a flavour packed and ‘turbo-charged’ gin & tonic! 57% abv is the traditional ‘navy strength’ benchmark, coming from the days when sailors would test that their rum & gin rations had not been watered-down by pouring some of the ration onto a small pile of gunpowder and lighting it. If the wet gunpowder burned, then the spirit was 57% abv or over, but if it didn’t… then someone had been ‘at it’! And as if by fate, Badachro Distillery is located close to the 57° North line of latitude.
