Commanding Presence
Royal Dock commands attention at 57% ABV. The bold juniper is resinous and assertive, the sharp lemon peel is bracing, and the earthy angelica provides a savoury anchor. The warming cassia on the finish is lovely.

Perfect for Pink Gin
Royal Dock at 57% is historically correct for a Plymouth-style pink gin with Angostura bitters. The commanding juniper stands up to the bitters and the cassia warmth complements them. A gin with genuine naval heritage.

Biscuity Warmth
The warm biscuity grain note on the nose is distinctive and sets this apart from other navy strength gins. At 57% ABV the bold resinous juniper is commanding, and the sharp lemon peel provides essential brightness.

The King of Navy Strength

Too Hot Neat
At 57% ABV the alcohol heat is significant. The juniper, coriander, and citrus are all there but they're fighting against the burn. In cocktails it's excellent but neat it's a challenge. Well made but best diluted.

Juniper-Coriander-Citrus
The powerful juniper-coriander-citrus entry at 57% ABV is textbook navy strength. Rich and layered with earthy angelica, dry orris, and warm cassia. The bright citrus coda on the finish lifts everything.
