New York Distilling Company Perry's Tot Navy Strength Gin 750ml

Perry's Tot Navy Strength Gin is a robust spirit from the New York Distilling Company, located in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. Named after Matthew Calbraith Perry, a 19th-century Commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, this gin pays homage to naval traditions. Bottled at 57% ABV, the historical proof at which gunpowder could still ignite if soaked, it embodies the strength and resilience of naval spirits.

The botanical blend includes juniper, citrus peels (orange, lemon, grapefruit), coriander, angelica, star anise, cinnamon, cardamom, and a touch of wildflower honey sourced from upstate New York. On the nose, it presents a classic juniper-forward aroma with hints of floral sweetness. The palate is bold and complex, featuring prominent juniper flavors balanced by zesty citrus, warm spices, and a subtle honeyed smoothness. The finish is long, with lingering spice and citrus notes.

This gin's high proof and rich flavor profile make it an excellent choice for classic cocktails like the Gimlet, Negroni, or a robust Gin and Tonic. Its strength ensures it stands up well in mixed drinks, providing a pronounced gin character throughout.

Perry's Tot Navy Strength Gin reflects the ingenuity and grit of 19th-century Brooklyn, connecting historical naval traditions with contemporary American cocktail culture.
