The "No Ship Sunk" Gin.
Named after the fourth upcoming HMS Sheffield, our 4Ships Navy Strength Gin is a tribute to the city's steel-tough legacy and nautical connections. At 57% Alc, this isn't for the faint-hearted—it’s a punchy, high-proof version of our original recipe that demands respect but rewards you with an incredibly smooth finish.
By using minimal dilution, we let the bold flavours of our seven hand-selected botanicals truly take the wheel. It’s handcrafted at Baltic Works with 100% natural ingredients, ensuring that every drop is "Actually Made in Sheffield." If you’re a fan of a traditional, juniper-forward profile with a bit of "oomph," this is the bottle for you.
Distiller’s Note
"This is the same recipe as our original Bryn’s Gin, but we’ve turned the volume up to eleven. Through advanced vapour infusion, we’ve managed to keep it as smooth as silk despite the high proof. It’s lively, playful, and packs a proper punch in a cocktail."
— Bryn Hawkins, Founder & Distiller
Tasting Notes
The Nose: Immediate, powerful juniper followed by bright, zesty citrus overtones.
The Palate: Intense and bold. The high strength carries the botanical flavours beautifully, offering a complex blend of spice and citrus.
The Finish: Remarkably smooth with a long, delightful spiced warmth.
The Perfect Serve
Respect the strength and keep it classic.
The Glass: A heavy-bottomed rocks glass or a Copa.
The Mixer: A premium Indian Tonic water—the high proof stands up perfectly to a strong tonic.
The Garnish: A simple lemon twist to highlight the citrus oils.
Pro Tip: This is the ultimate choice for a Negroni; the extra ABV ensures the gin isn't lost against the bold flavours of Vermouth and Campari.

The obession started immediately after trying the pear gin…I had to then order all the gins that were not sold out.Hawkins spirits are world class and iare beautifully and skilfully crafted. I am more than a bit obsessed with everything as I check the website everyday waiting for the gin flavores that I havent tried yet. Well done and please keep making the best gin and vodka in the world.
Wow! A lovely punchy navy strength gin. First tasted this at a local county fair bought a bottle. Ended up buying 3 more to treat friends and family.
Smooth as silk and boy you know when you’ve had a double with a premium mixer can. This will become a staple in our house and being distilled 30 mile away it’s an environmentally friendly low footprint for travel. Great communication from the seller throughout the process.
Really nice refreshing taste and has a lingering pleasantness to it.
The strength is not anything to be put off by either, just respect it.
I eat really impressed with it.
This is an excellent refreshing gin, ideal for gin and tonic or a negroni. It will be my regular gin from now on. Delivery was super fast. Hawkins Distillery are lovely people - I met them at the Halifax Agricultural Show and it's great to be able to buy from a local business, not a multinational.
Tried this at a market one Sunday and it was delicious so with the January offer I bought some for next Christmas for myself snd friends - lucky friends
