Perfume Trees Gin Navy Strength
Perfume Trees · Perfume Trees Gin Distillery
Perfume Trees' navy strength edition takes the brand's already distinctive East-meets-West botanical profile and dials up the intensity without losing balance. The extra proof reveals layers that the standard strength keeps quieter, particularly the floral and spice elements. A gin that demands attention.
Nose
Juniper leads cleanly, joined by bright yuzu-like citrus, white pepper, and a distinctive floral note reminiscent of osmanthus. Deeper sniffs reveal coriander seed and a subtle sandalwood warmth.
Palate
Powerful and aromatic at navy strength, with bold juniper pine supported by grapefruit pith, ginger heat, and lavender. The higher proof amplifies the botanical interplay without harshness. A lingering angelica root bitterness provides structure.
Finish
Long and warming, with persistent juniper, white flower aromatics, and a dry peppery close. The ginger lingers as gentle heat.

Cocktail Suggestion
Hong Kong Gimlet — 2 oz Perfume Trees Navy Strength · 0.75 oz fresh lime juice · 0.5 oz honey syrup · Shake hard with ice, fine strain into a chilled coupe, garnish with a lime wheel.
Food Pairing
The gin's floral and citrus intensity pairs beautifully with delicate steamed har gow, where the sweet shrimp filling meets the ginger and pepper heat of the spirit. A dab of chili oil bridges the gap.
Founded in Hong Kong and inspired by the agarwood trees that gave the territory its name — 'Fragrant Harbour' — Perfume Trees Gin blends classic London Dry technique with botanicals sourced across East Asia.

Isle of Raasay
Isle of Raasay Hebridean Gin is a study in clarity through constraint — a tight botanical bill drawn from the island's own terrain, distilled with disciplined intent.

A quiet triumph from one of Scotland's most purposeful young distilleries.

Cadenhead's Old Raj Dry Gin
Cadenhead's
Old Raj is a gin of rare character—the saffron infusion turns a classic juniper-forward profile into something genuinely singular, perfect for the waning warmth of November. Its navy strength makes it a commanding presence in cocktails or neat, and its Scottish provenance from one of the oldest independent bottlers in the world lends quiet authority. A gin that feels like the last golden light before winter.
Ford's Gin Officers' Reserve Navy Strength Gin
Ford's Gin
Officers' Reserve is the rare navy strength gin that earns its extra proof through genuine complexity rather than brute force. The brief Oloroso sherry cask rest is a masterclass in restraint—adding just enough richness to elevate the classic Ford's botanical profile without obscuring it. A gin that rewards trust in the process, and in the craft of blending tradition with innovation.
