The world’s strongest gin is now available with a 95% ABV

A gin company have created the worlds strongest gin, coming in at a whopping 95% abv.

After this year, we might just need something this strong to help us forget about the ups and down! 

Luckily, it’s been released just in time for Christmas. 

The Anno Extreme 95 Gin was created by scientist who quit their jobs almost 10 years ago and turned to creating booze for a living.

Anno Extreme 95 surprisingly has tasty flavour of fennel, coriander, nutmeg and liquorice.

According to the tasting notes it has ‘robust juniper and smooth spices’ that ‘soften into a fresh bite of citrus with sweet herbal notes’.

There is also a ‘long, dry and complex’ finish with ‘hints of warm liquorice’. 

The Kent-based company says: “Developed by scientists with a taste for adventure and pushing the limits of possibility, Anno Extreme 95 Gin was produced with one goal in mind – to create ‘the spirit of alchemy’.

“A gin that packs more punch and flavour, drop for drop, than any other spirit in the world.

“We use an extended distillation with a mix of steeped and vapour infused botanicals to extract huge flavour, packed into a 20cl bottle.”

And the best thing about it is that it’s economical. A normal G&T will have either a single (25ml) or double (50ml) shot of gin, to get the full G&T experience with this gin you only need 5ml. 

That gives you a gull-flavoured G&T with 75% less alcohol.

But if you can handle a full 25ml shot, you’ll get a ‘huge botanical hit with a higher strength’.

Before this, a Swedish company, Strane Ultra Uncut held the title of world’s strongest gin with 82% abv.

The gin was released in 2018, at the time, the company said: “With Strane Ultra Uncut 82.5 percent, [brewer] Pär Caldenby has deliberately tweaked the production process to take the intensity and strength to a new level.

“This was done with a much stronger charge of the still than usual and also by doubling the amount of botanicals, for massive flavour.

“Exercising due care, it can be savoured neat and ideally well chilled, in very small sips (with a glass of water on the side), which delivers an intensive juniper-led flavour impact, with great complexity from the other botanicals, including coriander seeds, almonds, liquorice root, lime and fresh herbs.”
