Conniption Navy Strength Gin Review

From North Carolina’s Durham Distillery, this Navy Strength gin is bottled at 57 percent ABV and employs a mix of vapor and cold vacuum distillation, depending on the botanicals. The alcohol is not as in your face as you might expect, and sampling neat takes you on a journey — one that begins with piney juniper and fresh citrus, before transitioning to deep savory spices and herbs. Combine with an equal quantity of dry vermouth (or a split of dry and blanc vermouth) for the best 50/50 Martini going.
