How It's Made
American naval power was born in April 1778 in the historic sea battle between the USS Ranger and the HMS Drake. The captain of the Ranger, John Paul Jones, was a revolutionary spirit from the other side of the north channel. This naval battle for American independence, north of the Copeland Islands, was the first victory for the new United States Navy.
To create this unique spirit, we first distil our Irish gin and then cask it in Kentucky bourbon casks for 120 days. This gives it the caramel colour and a hint of bourbon flavour. Then we transfer the gin to Oloroso sherry casks and let it rest of 20 days to enhance the colour and give it a touch of spice.
How To Enjoy It
Packed full of flavour, you will enjoy a punch of juniper followed by smooth caramel and spice from the bourbon and sherry casks. Enjoy either neat over ice (it really is that smooth!), or with crisp Indian tonic water garnished with a slice of apple.
