Glendalough Wild Botanical Irish Gin 70cl

Description

Glendalough Wild Botanical Irish Gin

Created by a group of friends who came from County Wicklow and Dublin, The Glendalough Distilley was born of a passion to revive the heritage of craft distilling in Ireland.

Glendalough itself is one of the most picturesque and visited valleys in Ireland. It is situated in County Wicklow, just south of Dublin within the Wicklow mountains.

Fun Fact: The monk with his arms raised, seen on all Glendalough's bottles, is St. Kevin of Glendalough. An Irish legend, originally born of Irish Royalty who was said to have lived over 1400 years ago. 

It is the beauty, and bounty of County Wicklow which inspired their Wild Botanical Gin. For each distillation the distillery's full time forager goes into mountains around the distillery. They harvest sustainably - ensuring they do not over-forage. Then, what is picked is put into the still within a few hours ensuring the oils, fragrances and flavours are captured. For this reason, each small batch of 250 litres will taste slightly different.

The result is a deliciously fragrant gin has grapefruit and pine from the juniper. Hints of heather and rose petals also come through. Overall this is a fresh and vibrant gin. 

The distillery believe that "With each taste, this gin transports you to a place and time in our home - the Wicklow Mountains."

Perfect Serve

This can easily be enjoyed with a neutral tonic, such as Three Cents Tonic Water. However any quality neutral tonic will work well. For something a little different, this also works well with their Aegean Tonic Water.

Take a large glass filled with ice and add 50ml of the gin. Gently pour over 150 - 200ml of your chosen tonic and stir gently. Garnish simply with a few juniper berries.
