1000 PIERS CHRISTMAS GIN
Celebrate the season with 1000 Piers Christmas Gin, a bold and sophisticated Navy Strength spirit designed to capture the warmth, mystery, and opulence of the holidays. This isn't just a seasonal gin; it is a carefully distilled homage to ancient traditions and the cozy aromatics of a Christmas kitchen.
At Navy Strength, this gin carries a robust foundation that allows its complex botanical profile to shine through, whether sipped neat by the fire or standing tall in a festive cocktail.
Distilled with Frankincense and Myrrh, providing a resinous depth and an ethereal, woodsy aroma that sets this spirit apart. This flavors are fused with a rich tapestry of baking spices including Cinnamon, Ginger, Cardamom, Coriander, Nutmeg, All-spice, and Clove. These provide a lingering warmth and a nostalgic, "fresh-from-the-oven" spice profile. Bright notes of Sweet Orange and Bitter Orange Peel offer a zesty counterpoint to the spice, while a touch of Lavender adds a subtle, sophisticated savoriness that rounds out the palate.

Tasting Notes
Nose The aroma opens with a striking, resinous depth from the Frankincense and Myrrh, immediately signaling a spirit of antiquity and mystery. This is quickly followed by a fragrant wave of Christmas baking spices—most notably warm cinnamon, pungent clove, and the zesty snap of ginger. A bright, citrusy lift of bitter orange peel cuts through the spice,
Palate On the palate, the Navy Strength proof delivers a bold, full-bodied arrival. Initial notes of nutmeg and all-spice create a rich, "fruitcake" sweetness that is balanced by the earthy spice of coriander and cardamom. The texture is oily and luxurious, allowing the resinous qualities of the botanicals to coat the tongue. The lavender becomes more apparent here, lending a unique savory floral note that bridges the gap between the citrus oils and the heavy spice rack.
Finish The finish is long, dry, and exceptionally warming. The heat of the ginger lingers alongside the aromatic bitterness of the orange peel. As the spice notes slowly fade, you are left with a persistent, clean echo of frankincense and a final subtle, herbal whisper of lavender provides a sophisticated, savory undertone.
