A Scottish distillery has created the world's strongest gin — with an incredible 77 percent of alcohol by volume.

Twin River Distillery, in Banchory, Aberdeenshire, created a limited run of just 101 bottles of it's Naked Gin 'Uncut' edition.

The potent tipple will be launched at Gin Festival: North East which takes place on February 9 and 10.

"When our head distiller, Liam Pennycook tasted the uncut spirit straight from the still, he decided it was too good not to share," claims Ryan Rhodes, the brand ambassador for Twin River.

Commenting on the first taste of Uncut, Peter Sim, founder of Aberdeen and Inverurie Gin Club, said the liquor's alcohol content is not as overpowering as he initially thought.
