James Gin Asian Parsnip Navy Strength
(designated as JG.02) is the high-proof, bolder iteration of the flagship gin created by television presenter and writer James May.
Key Features & Overview
-
The Concept: As James May famously puts it, this gin is “exactly the same as our regular Asian Parsnip, but stronger”—and, naturally, a bit more expensive due to higher alcohol duty and spirit content.
-
Alcohol Content: Bottled at 57% ABV (114 Proof). This adheres to the traditional “Navy Strength” standard, historically defined as the minimum strength required for gunpowder to still ignite if gin accidentally spilled on it aboard naval ships.
-
Flavor Foundation: It amplifies the distinct, unconventional combination of sweet British parsnip with vibrant Asian spices.
Because of its punchy 57% ABV, this gin cuts through mixers far better than standard spirits:
-
Classic G&T: Serve with a light or standard tonic water and a twist of orange peel or a slice of fresh ginger to highlight the underlying warmth.
Despite the heavy high-proof hit, the extra alcohol concentration enhances the carrier oils of the botanicals, producing a rich, viscous texture with layered notes:
-
Nose: Highly aromatic with roasted parsnip sweetness leading into bright citrus, cracked pepper, dry spice, juniper, and herbaceous rosemary.
-
Palate: Full-bodied and warming. Nutty parsnip notes blend with vibrant waves of ginger, cubeb berries, caraway, fenugreek, and a tingle from grains of paradise.
-
Finish: Long, warm, and earthy. Lingering hints of coriander seed, juniper, sweet herbs, and lingering spice.
