In this Navy Strength conversation with Bobby Freeman (@nononsensegin), creator of the hit YouTube Channel, No Nonsense Gin Drinking, some of the topics we discuss include: Bobby's journey through gin, beginning with the gin & tonic that launched his obsession and all of the stylistic preferences and affinities he's developed along the way A discussion of recent gin trends in the UK, including the “Pink Gin Bubble” that occurred during COVID and the current obsession with citrus-heavy gins. We also cover the popular cocktail trends that are dominant right now in the London bar world, including Pisco & whiskey sours, porn star martinis, and brambles. And of course, this wouldn't be a true gin nerd conversation if we didn't take the opportunity to sample some of our personal favorite gins featuring outlandish botanicals, like oyster shells, elephant dung, ants, and prickly pear cactus. Along the way, we discuss why Bobby gets a little nervous when ordering a Mojito, which South American country has suspiciously good deals on distilled spirits, the gin with a flavor profile that can only be described as “pure fart,” And much, much more.

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes you on a ride to Baltimore, Maryland and introduces listeners to Old Line Spirits. He chats with Co-Founder and Owner, Mark McLaughlin. Mark and Big Chief discuss how Old Line got started and how these two Navy aviators wanted to create bold, new spirits with distinct character and unmatched quality. Driven by a spirit of adventure and camaraderie, Old Line's spirits embody their mantra: Bold Stories, Bold Spirits. These two veterans are committed to making America's best single malt. They start the show with a dram of their Flagship 95 American Single Malt that the big man describes as cinnamon candy with a little citrus. They then move to the Navy Strength 114. Legend has it that Navy Strength spirits was shipped at 57% ABV because if it happened to spill on gunpowder, the powder would still light. Big Chief calls this the best American Single Malt he has ever tasted. In the second half these two pour a glass of Madeira Cask Finish American Single Malt Whiskey. At 100-proof, it's robust yet balanced - perfect neat or over a single cube of ice. To finish the show like old, retired sailors, they share a pour of Case 1 Rum Original. Aged for seven to eleven years in used bourbon barrels, this rum showcases rich, natural notes of vanilla and butterscotch, complemented by subtle hints of pineapple and coconut. This ride on The Whiskey Trip once again showcases the rise of American Single Malt on the Whiskey landscape. Cheers!

For years, a number of British and American gin brands have touted so-called navy strength gin, which is a robust 57 percent alcohol by volume. As legend has it, the Royal Navy demanded that the gin be bottled at a very high proof so if it ever spilled on the ship's supply of black powder, the powder would still light. There's just one major problem: There is no record of the Royal Navy ever officially giving gin to its sailors. On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum try to get to the bottom of this myth and discuss what types of liquor the Royal Navy actually did purchase for its sailors. They also talk about why you might still want to drink navy strength despite its invented past. So mix yourself a gin cocktail and listen to this new episode of Fix Me a Drink. Cheers! Fix Me a Drink is hosted by Flaviar's resident liquor experts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich. On each episode, the award-winning duo enjoys a delicious drink while uncovering lost liquor history, exploring modern cocktail culture and interviewing an incredible array of spirited guests. Please drink responsibly. Podcast Editor Alex Skjong.

The 20-day test was conducted in partnership with GoodFuels, a leading producer and supplier of sustainable biofuels for the transportation industry, and Wärtsilä, a global leader in power and propulsion technologies and lifecycle solutions for the marine market.The assessment was completed September 7. In the first five days of the test the ship used a mix of 30% biofuel and 70% marine gas oil (MGO) in one of its main auxiliary engines. For the final 15 days of testing, the ship used 100% biofuel. According to GoodFuels, there was a 78% decrease in lifecycle CO2 emissions during the final 15 days of trial compared to marine gas oil emissions.Dutch-flagged Volendam was selected for the test since it was located at the Port of Rotterdam, one of the global ports where GoodFuels operates the infrastructure necessary to provide biofuel waterside fueling services. There is no significant difference for the ship's team members in handling regular fuel oil versus biofuel. The use of a “drop-in” biofuel such as the one tested on Volendam requires no shipboard refitting or special equipment.What Are Biofuels?The advanced biofuel is derived from feedstocks that are certified as 100% waste or residue, with no land-use issues and no competition with food production or deforestation.Holland America Line's 2024 Grand Australia and New Zealand Voyage Returns After a DecadeHolland America Line is continuing to bolster its longer voyages departing from a North America homeport, and the 2024 Grand Australia and New Zealand Voyage is the newest addition.

Join me as I jump into a discussion with New York Distilling's co-founder Allen Katz. Starting out in Baltimore, it's no surprise that Allen would find rye whiskey as his passion, but the surprise was - he went to New York City to start a distillery. But before then, he spent life as a bartender in the revitalized cocktail culture of New York. So today we'll talk rye whiskey, cocktails and even find out why the British used to have a different proofing system that we do in the US. Items we'll discuss: How a heist helped choose Allen's destiny Bringing Maryland to New York City Working with farmers and specific rye varietals Does a cocktail need a complex rye? The early days of the New York cocktail culture The staple rye whiskies for any bartender Differences in character between warehouses Tasting Ragtime Rye The winter hot toddy The Empire Rye designation The idea of an urban distillery in New York City Getting help from others Gin and New York's other Matthew Perry Navy Strength gin's history and gunpowder The basis for the old British proofing system Tasting Ragtime Rye Bottled-in-Bond The origins of Rock and Rye Tasting the Single Barrel

Was hat es mit dem Begriff Navy Strength auf sich, was verbirgt sich hinter der Navy Island und was macht den Charakter von Jamaika Rum aus? Wir probieren es aus und verkosten den Navy Island Jamaika Rum in Navy Strength. Ein spannendes Thema und vor allem interessante Geschmacksnoten warten auf euch. Dazu machen wir noch ein kleines Experiment mit Wasser, das überraschende Ergebnisse lieferte.

Sue goes to Copper Rivet Distillery to see how gin is made, from the grain being delivered all the way through to blending the botanicals. She then has a tutored tasting with author of The Philosophy of Gin, her fellow presenter Jane Peyton. They taste their way through five gins and Jane explains the origins of Navy Strength. Which brand do they think is best to drink neat, and best with a dash of tonic?

On this episode we go searching for a little Ginspiration, so of course we had to bring gin lover and master distiller Marsh Mokhtari from Gray Whale Gin. We talk through all of the methods of creating gin, from the botanicals to the steeping process, as well as what the term Navy Strength means. We also had a fantastic flight of gin that was entirely from California, so we had Junipero Gin from Hotaling Distilling, Old Harbor Distilling's San Miguel Gin, Re-Find Gin, Blinking Owl's Barrel Vacationed Gin, St. George's Dry Rye Reposado, and Gray Whale's Gin as well, batch 007. It was a wonderfully diverse lineup, no two were remotely the same despite being all from the same state.   Click on any of the following links to purchase the spirits.
