In keeping with our nautical theme, we wanted to create our own Navy Strength gin, but with a local and innovative twist. The origins of ‘Navy Strength Gin’ has a strong storyline within Naval History, so it was the perfect second launch for the brand to take on. We therefore came up with Inverclyde Gin – Port Strength.
Our team are always coming up with innovative new quirky ideas for drinks, and after the success we’ve seen from the launch of our Costal Inverclyde Gin we were really interested in developing the brand even further. In keeping with our nautical theme, we wanted to create our own Navy Strength gin, but with a local and innovative twist. The origins of ‘Navy Strength Gin’ has a strong storyline within Naval History, so it was the perfect second launch for the brand to take on. We therefore came up with our own unique twist - Inverclyde Gin – Port Strength.
Our ‘Port Strength’ Gin is inspired by the strong people, shipbuilding and naval heritage of Inverclyde. Located at Latitude 55.9°N, Inverclyde’s town of Port Glasgow played a pivotal role in Inverclyde’s naval past. We wanted to pay homage to the town, our home, and thus have perfected our Port Strength Gin to 55.9% ABV. A bigger, bolder infusion of our coastal botanicals, coupled with a touch of ginger, creates the renowned Inverclyde Gin taste with a smooth and punchy finish.
We are hoping to continue to build a really strong line-up, adapting to the different styles and ways that people like to enjoy their favourite tipple. The recommended serve for Coastal Gin is 50ml of Gin, 200ml of Neutral tonic to let the flavours come through on the palate and a slice of orange to harmonise with the gin botanicals. Whilst Port strength would also be perfect served this way, however this gin is the ideal spirit for cocktails as the strength of the gin brings the flavours to the forefront of your favourite bartender creation. To compliment the botanicals in Port Strength, the team recommend a Bramble, Tom Collins or Orange Martini!
Pre-sale is now live for Port Strength on our Inverclyde Gin Website and ends Monday the 23rd of August, with deliveries commencing Wednesday the 25th of August.
