Bond Street Navy Strength Gin is a bold and smooth creation from Bond Street Distillery in Hinckley, Leicestershire. Crafted using their signature recipe and distilled in their still, "Claire," this gin is blended to a powerful 57.5% ABV, enhancing its vibrant and complex flavor profile.
The aroma opens with prominent notes of pine, pepper, citrus, and oily bay leaf, complemented by subtle hints of liquorice. On the palate, crushed pine needles merge with the heat of pink peppercorn, gently transitioning into sweet liquorice and delicate orange blossom.
Bond Street Distillery is the first gin distillery in Hinckley, Leicestershire, established in 2019 by Sally Faulkner. Located in a restored 18th-century building, formerly a hosiery factory, the distillery combines traditional distillation methods with modern approaches, producing award-winning gins such as Signature London Dry, Navy Strength, and Sumptuous Spices.
