Tasting Notes
Appearance
Mountain Goat Battleship Gin Navy Strength presents a bright, crystal-clear appearance with excellent clarity — the hallmark of a premium navy-strength gin crafted at Mountain Goat in Richmond, Melbourne, with whole Macedonian juniper and Amarillo hops steeped in clean wheat spirit for 24 hours before Cascade hop and whole lemons deliver their bright citrus character. Bold and immediately commanding in the glass.
Aroma
Resinous and savoury on the nose with immediate authority — whole Macedonian juniper leads with a confident, piney depth, with Amarillo hops adding a distinctive resinous, tropical hop character that sets this navy-strength gin apart from the crowd. Cascade hop weaves through with a fresh, floral complexity, while whole lemons deliver a zingy, bright citrus lift that balances the savoury, resinous botanicals with precision and flair.
Palate
Vibrant and full-powered on the palate — the resinous juniper and hop character leads with a bold, savoury intensity that is immediately distinctive, with the zingy citrus lift of whole lemons cutting through with a bright, clean vibrancy. The spicy kick on the finish delivers the extra firepower that defines a great navy-strength gin, with the 58% ABV amplifying every botanical nuance with undiluted power and presence. The big gun — and it knows it.
Pairs With
The ultimate base for a stronger dry Martini, a classic Gimlet or a bracing G&T with premium tonic and a twist of lemon — equally outstanding in a Hop Negroni, a Navy Strength Gin Sour or neat over a single large ice cube for the full 58% ABV experience. A natural match for oysters, smoked salmon, aged hard cheeses or a classic charcuterie board. Add a splash of water to open up the botanical complexity and tame the firepower.
