In 2014 Pickerings became official gin sponsor of The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. To mark the occasion they released their Naval Strength edition, also affectionately known as the bearskin gin. Tasting Notes: Smooth, clean & powerful. Initial juniper & aromatic spice flavours lead to a delicious sweetness. Each bottle of gin comes with a bearskin hat & a commemorative neck-tag. Recommended serve: Its strength & sweetness make for an incredible gin cocktail.
