Named for the mid-century commandant from the Brooklyn Navy Yard who valued brain as much as brawn, NY Distilling found the happy balance between both. So the story goes, navy strength means all you need is a little gunpowder to get the canons firing, but here that 114 proof means a gin that's both a pistol (and perfect with tonic) and a poem. 114 is the MINIMUM proof at which a ship's cannons will still fire if the booze is spilled on the fuses ! Five lbs of New York State wildflower honey is distilled into this juniper forward gin adding a soft, sweet, slightly unctuous element. Lemon, coriander and cardamom are also in the mix contributing zesty mandarin aromas and flavors with white pepper and grapefruit zest. Factor in the high proof when composing your cocktails and.... Fire when ready!
