First Impressions
Conker Dorset Navy Strength takes the same Jurassic Coast botanicals — elderberry, marsh samphire, gorse flowers — and amplifies them to 57%. The luxuriously oily mouthfeel and well-managed alcohol make it one of the finest naval gins for cocktails.
Tasting
The nose is bold juniper with complex warm spice. On the palate, juniper with elderberry jam, samphire salt and Seville orange — oily and luxurious. The finish is long and warming.
The Bottom Line
Conker Navy earns an 8 for Dorset coastal character at full naval power. The elderberry-samphire-gorse combination creates a navy strength that is distinctly different from London-distilled competitors. Essential for bold Negronis and Gin Mules.
