Six spirits to do après right.
Far North Spirits’ Gustaf Gin
The “navy strength” on the label of Far North Spirits’ Gustaf gin refers to the fact that, back in the day, alcohol was allowed aboard ships only if it was potent enough that, should it spill on the gunpowder, the gunpowder would still light. The 114 proof of this liquor is tamed nicely by 11 botanicals.
