Holy foog.
I had never heard the term "Navy strength" so I searched it on the innerweb.

From the search page:
We took inspiration from that fact and have created our gin to offer notes of Spanish Sweet Orange and Thai Ginger for a smooth and bright finish.
Fresh ginger brings spiciness to the gin, while turmeric adds weight and a lovely earthiness. Also in the botanical basket are some native finger limes, grown in Byron Bay. They have an intensity of flavour that is almost impossible to believe, and they help the gin attain super citrus notes and lovely high-toned freshness.
"adds weight and a lovely earthiness" As I mentioned, a long time since my last drink, but I don't think I want "earthiness" in any drink. I had enough earthiness when I got fallin' down drunk. Maybe they're warming folks up for later that night?
it's gotten as bad as coffee, tea, wine, beer and from what I've heard "pot".
What ever happened to "it tastes like pine needles"?
