Jones 1778 Navy Strength Gin - winner of the GIN MASTERS award, 2021

Winner of THE GIN MASTERS 'MASTER' AWARD 2021, the World’s most highly regarded series of spirits blind tasting competitions. To create this unique spirit, we first distil our award-winning Irish gin and then cask it in Kentucky bourbon casks for 120 days. This gives it the caramel colour and a hint of bourbon flavour. Then we transfer the gin to Oloroso sherry casks and let it rest of 20 days to enhance the colour and give it a touch of spice. An incredible gin & tonic, served with ice and a slice of apple, this unique gin is a superb base for gin cocktails including a Negroni. It was also used as a key ingredient in the Chris McClurg's winning dessert 'Derry Girls Trifle' at Great British Menu 2022. Inspired by the historic sea battle, "the Battle of the Copelands", between the USS Ranger and the HMS Drake in 1778. The captain of the Ranger, John Paul Jones, was a revolutionary spirit from the other side of the north channel. This naval battle for American independence, north of the Copeland Islands, was the first victory for the new United States Navy. Winner of IWSC Gold Award 2020 and Silver Award 2021, an international benchmark for quality. Visit our YouTube channel, Copeland Distillery, for more great serves and cocktail ideas. 57% ABV | 70cl
