First Impressions
Slingsby Navy Strength takes the same 24 botanicals at 57% — the reduced water allows jasmine and green tea to become more dominant, softening the fieriness. Over 100 awards from San Francisco, New York, London and China.
Tasting
The nose shows pronounced rhubarb and grapefruit. On the palate, richer with earthy botanicals dominant, tea softening the strength. The finish is subtle and sweet.
The Bottom Line
Slingsby Navy earns an 8 for 24 botanicals at naval proof that remains classically smooth. The tea-softening effect at 57% is clever, and the over 100 worldwide awards speak for themselves. Best with aromatic tonic and pink grapefruit.
