FireShip 58

Description

Used in 17th century naval warfare, Fire Ships were wooden ships packed with combustibles and gunpowder, set alight and steered whilst ablaze into the enemy fleet. FireShip 58 is our Navy Strength gin, distilled in small batches in the London Dry method using vapour infusion to extract a complex, full-bodied flavour from our blend of botanicals from around the world.

This is not just a stronger version of our Thunderflower Gin, but a new recipe. The image we had while developing the recipe were the sailors charged with sailing the fireship taking a deep slug of Dutch courage with the smell of burning wood and gunpowder around them.

The flavours from our classic Thunderflower Gin feature as the canvas, with the sweet spice of Cardamom, Cassia and Liquorice blended with Juniper. Then we bring in some more heat and spice with Grains of Paradise, and the Cubebs which bring a smokey spice note to the mix. Calamus root brings further sweet spice and with the addition of orange and lemon citrus peel make the gin naturally sweet.

The higher ABV and full-bodied botanical flavour of Fireship helps it shine through in drinks where other gins will often be lost, holding its balance of spice, sweet and bitter flavours together.
