Hayman's Royal Dock Navy Strength Gin

Penelope Hart — Commanding Presence

8/10

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.

Annika Svensson — Perfect for Pink Gin

8/10

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.

Kwame Mensah — Biscuity Warmth

9/10

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.
