Story Behind
Gin, like rum, has a long association with the British Royal Navy. While the sailors were given rum rations as part of their wages, gin was strictly for the officers.
During the Napoleonic wars, vice admiral Horatio Lord Nelson ordered barrels of Plymouth gin for his officers. However, there were concerns that spilt gin could rend gunpowder impossible to light, so the founder of Plymouth gin, Thomas Coates, created Navy Strength gin, strong enough to pass the British Royal Navy's proof test. This involved soaking grains of gunpowder in an alcohol. If the alcohol still lit this was a "proof" that it was above 57% ABV, and it was allowed on board of the ship. By the mid-18th century, Plymouth Distillery was supplying 1.000 barrels Navy Strength per year to the Royal Navy!
