Bold, Intense, and Powerfully Smooth

Some gins play it safe. Conniption Navy Strength Gin is not one of them. Crafted to defy expectations, this gin is a fearless fusion of bold botanicals and cutting-edge distillation, designed for those who crave intensity, complexity, and an unapologetic depth of flavor. At 57% ABV (114 proof), it delivers a powerful presence with an unexpectedly smooth finish, making it the ultimate choice for cocktails that demand a gin with backbone.

More than a gin, Conniption Navy Strength stands unchallenged. With six consecutive wins for Best Navy Strength Gin in the U.S. at the World Gin Awards (2019-2024), this expression is a proven benchmark of quality, precision, and boldness.

It begins with a vapor-distilled foundation of spice-forward botanicals like juniper, cardamom, and bright lemon, creating a strikingly aromatic opening. Then, we push the boundaries further. Caraway, rosemary, and bay leaf build deep herbal warmth, while cold vacuum-distilled figs add unexpected depth, ensuring flavors that unfold with every sip.

Not all strength is about intensity. It's about presence. The kind of presence that turns simple moments into stories worth telling, that elevates a casual toast into a celebration. Whether it’s raising a glass with friends, marking a milestone, or simply pausing to savor the now, Conniption Navy Strength Gin is there to ensure you taste every second.

First Sip: Bold juniper, bay leaf, and bright lemon—crisp, commanding, and instantly refreshing.
Mid-Palate: Caraway, rosemary, and cardamom deliver deep spice and herbal complexity.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering rye bread notes and a peppery heat softened by plummy figs.

Great Gin!

This gin is so clean and so incredibly strong (in the best way possible). Highly recommend.

To taste this is to enjoy it...

Really, this is gin, not some bathtub stuff made in Al's uncles basement. Nor is it something made for those afraid of gin. As a gin snob here, you should try this surprising local gin.

My favorite gin!

I purchased a few bottles of the Navy Strength when I was visiting Durham and fell in love with the flavors. It's different than London Dry gins, less juniper-y if that makes sense. Highly recommend!

Strong but so good!

I am new to drinking gin but really enjoy spirit forward cocktails and this is a delicious and strong gin! I highly recommend!

Fun stop on the way to the airport!

We stopped by the Durham Distillery on our way home from North Carolina. Patrick was very helpful in our tastings. We purchased many bottles; we were able to fit them in our luggage & they all arrived intact. We enjoyed our visit but are hoping to convince our local beer/wine/liqueur store to start carrying your products!

Excellent Find!

We took a tour and tasting at Durham Distillery and had a wonderful time. Our guide, Felicia, was amazing! She was both knowledgeable about the product and the process but also was a great guide and fun to spend time with. We tasted the gin, the vodka, and the various liqueurs and enjoyed them all. I could not bring them all home with me but we did manage to pack a few bottles of gin to go with us. My favorite was the Navy gin. It had a distinct flavor and was thoroughly enjoyable on its own and as part of a mixed drink. I would highly recommend going to Durham Distillery for a visit if you can. If not able to visit, ordering the Conniption Gin online without a tasting would not be a huge risk as I am sure that you will enjoy the product or products that you order. I highly recommend all that they have to offer.

So good that it was stolen from my apartment

This stuff is so amazing that the moving company I used this past week stole an entire bottle from my apartment. Definitely worth buying 2+ at a time in case this scenario happens to you as well!

I have been fortunate to receive your excellent Conniption 57% gin as presents from my family in NC. Usually I drink a gin martini, but have invented a new drink due to the pandemic and my concerns for the ravages of scurvy—that constant threat.

Not just good, or even excellent -- This gin is sublime!

I've been drinking gin for 25 years, and have tasted more gins than I can count from all over the world. Conniption Navy Strength is one of the two best gins I've ever tasted, and the best available in the United States.
The flavor profile is perfect; truly, it doesn't get any better than this
And the smoothness, it's smooth for any gin. To be this smooth at 57% ABV is insane!
While it is smooth enough to enjoy without any dilution or mixing -- and I've enjoyed many small pours neat -- it truly shines in cocktails. I'm a huge fan of the Negroni, and a Negroni made with Conniption is a whole new level of amazing, that you simply have to taste to believe. (My Negroni is 2 oz Conniption, 1.5 oz Campari, and 1.5 oz Antica Formula Carpano sweet vermouth, stirred with ice and strained into a cocktail glass, garnished with a sliver of orange rind twisted to express the essence.)
Sadly, I can't buy this gin in Virginia, but I will certainly pick up a few more bottles the next time I'm in North Carolina!
