Back in the day, the Brits gave sailors a gin ration. They found that below 114 proof, the gun powder wouldn't burn if the gin spilled! So, to burn the power to fire the cannons (to sink the French!), the gin had to be 114 proof!
James Bay used mermaids on the label instead of battleships as a nod to Homer & The Odyssey, and to reflect on who rules the waves!
James Bay Navy Strength Gin is distilled with juniper, coriander, angelica, orris root and cassia, with new botanicals: elderflower and vanilla to match flavor notes of a British Royal wedding cake.
