Green Hat Navy Strength

Gin description

Navy strength spirits are traditionally stronger (higher proof) than their non-nautical counterparts. Back in the day when sailors were given a daily ration of gin or rum, they would occasionally mix their liquor with gun powder and try to ignite it. If the powder-liquor brew ignited, they knew their liquor wasn’t watered down. Gun powder will ignite if the liquor it’s mixed with is at least 114 proof.
