Navy Gin

Torstad Navy Gin

Torstad brewery and Distillery makes gin completely from scratch. They grow the wheat for their base spirit and use specially selected botanicals, lingonberries hand-picked from nearby forests, coriander seed, wormwood, angelica root grown on their own land and selected ingredients grown in their own tropical greenhouse.

Torstad Navy Gin is the second product from Torstad Bryggeri and Destilleri and is based on the same base spirit and with the same botanicals as Torstad Nordic Dry Gin, but in different proportions and at a higher alcohol content.

The scent is big and fills the room as soon as the bottle is opened. Juniper berries, coriander seed but also tones that bring to mind coniferous forest. It is dry, full-bodied and verdant.

The taste is strong and well-balanced, nothing that stands out and takes a clear place. Juniper, herbs, greenery, some pepperiness but no prominent citrus or alcohol heat. In the end, the high alcohol is felt in an explosion of flavor and a long peppery aftertaste.

A gin with an incredible amount of flavor and character, it goes absolutely well in both GT and Dry Martini, but it is in classic sour cocktails that it really shines
