Lumber's Bartholomew Navy Strength Gin is based on 137 Distillery's Country Garden Gin and was launched in 2018 by Pete Lumber, landlord of The Newbury Pub located in the centre of Newbury in Berkshire. 137 Gin Distillery was built onto the back of the pub in 2018 and is named after the pub's location at 137 Bartholomew Street, while the gin takes its name from a combination of Pete's surname and the street name. The logo is designed by a graffiti artist in reference to Pete's home town of Bristol.  The gin is distilled in-house in a copper still which is named after Pete's wife, Laima.
The Gin Guide Review
Lumber's Bartholomew Navy Strength delivers an abundance of deep spice, alongside juniper, citrus peels and floral lavender. On the nose and palate you'll find piney juniper and plentiful earthy spice with cloves, cardamom and cassia bark that give a warming, wintery feel. Meanwhile the citrus peels and lavender offer zesty and floral balancing notes and contrast. The mouthfeel is smooth and while holding the character of a high ABV spirit it doesn't develop into harshness. As is typical of many Navy Strength gins, Lumber's Bartholomew Navy Strength clouds when tonic is added and as the essential oils are released. Orange makes for an ideal G&T garnish starting point. ​- Paul Jackson, 2020
