What is Navy Strength Gin?

While gin is typically bottled at 37.5% - 45% ABV, Navy Strength gins are bottled at 57-58% ABV. The story behind this is that sailors would check to ensure that the gin coming on board the ship (often as their payment for work) was of sufficient quality and ABV. Their test was to pour some of the gin onto gunpowder, and the gunpowder still lit, the gin was up to their standard.
