Badachro Gin Storm Strength is a full flavoured, high strength version of Badachro Gin. 57% ABV is the traditional ‘navy strength’ benchmark, when it's said that sailors would test that their gin rations had not been watered down by pouring some onto a small pile of gunpowder and lighting it. If the wet gunpowder burned, then the spirit was 57% ABV or over, but if it didn’t… then someone had been ‘at it’! As if by fate, Badachro Distillery is located close to the 57° North line of latitude and being on the wild west coast, is no stranger to the full force of West Highland storms.

Sweet lavender and citrus finish.
How to enjoy this gin
This high strength gin stands up well in gin cocktails so use this to create a classic gin cocktail, such as a Martini or Negroni.
About Badachro Distillery
The Badachro Distillery is located in the remote and beautiful hamlet of Badachro, near Gairloch in the Highlands of Scotland. One of the last true wilderness areas in Europe, with pitch dark night skies where the stars are at times almost blindingly bright, an arm of the Milky Way galaxy streaks above in the nights sky and the regularly Aurora Borialis (The Northern Lights) can often be seen dancing overhead. With the sea to the west and north, the Torridon mountains to the east, Loch Torridon to the south, the distillery is surrounded with an abundance of fresh water and natural botanicals. It’s from these magical surroundings that the owners of Badachro Distillery found their inspiration to create a gin named after the place they love and call home.
Production
From its elevated position, the Badachro Distillery provides panoramic views over the village of Badachro and Gairloch. This rural distillery houses a traditional copper pot still named ‘Delilah’ that originated in Portugal. The distillery provides small, intimate tours in summer each year that include an introduction to Badachro with owners Gordon and Vanessa.
