ARTWORK - London DRy Gin Navy Strength

KUNSTWERK – London Dry Gin Navy Strength: Years later, the KUNSTWERK London Dry Gin was created from an initial idea to the perfect balance of high-quality ingredients such as juniper, rosemary, lemon, cardamom, lavender blossom and other secret botanicals. The Navy Strength enhances the extraordinarily citrusy, floral, spicy taste and sets new standards in the KUNSTWERK family. It also deserves the name work of art and is also produced in small editions in 100% manual work. A gin made in Germany! What does "Navy Strength" mean? During the long sea routes to the colonies on other continents, food, water, gin and also gunpowder were stored below deck. Now it happened that some drunken sailors threw their gin over the gunpowder and this made it unusable. For fear of mutinies, the gin rations were not wanted to be reduced or completely canceled and so the decree was issued that gin should be at least 57% vol. must have alcohol. If this is the case, the gunpowder will ignite from the increased alcohol, even if it has been infused with gin. To ensure that the gin on the ships really did have this high alcohol content, some gunpowder was infused with the gin. If the gunpowder could still be ignited afterwards, it was called a "Gunpowder Proof Gin" or a "Navy Strength Gin".
