Scotland Leaps Ahead of Swedes –

Making World’s Strongest Gin

Well for years I didn’t hear anything about gin, it was always Scotch, the pride of Scotland, but now everyone is inundated with the latest on trend drink – GIN! A distillery based in Banchory has made a limited edition gin that is a whacking 77% abv. That’s nearly twice as strong as ordinary gin and Scotch.

Strange Brew

The limited edition has 101 bottles of the potent brew. They distillers make their own native spirit with a base spirit that is produced out with Scotland and then redistilled with the necessary botanicals for the taste.  For other producers the final product may not be truly Scottish, but with the boys at Banchory  is the real deal and a totally authentically Scottish craft gin. Previously the world’s strongest gin was produced by Swedes and weighed in at abv 76%. It was originally intended to make regular gin with this potion, but the head distiller tasted it and was so pleased with his creation that he wanted the world to try some. However, it’s not a drink you can rush at as it is very intoxicating, so they say. Indeed Scotland leads the way with strong drink, as the world’s strongest beer is brewed in Scotland and it is called ‘Sink the Bismark’ and weighs in at abv 41%, the same strength as scotch and something I would never try a beer at 67.5% which had a short outing a few years back
