Glendalough Irish Wild Botanical Gin, 700ml

Product Information

Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin features some somewhat unusual floral botanicals. The ox eye daisy is a common roadside weed stateside— even its Latin name a yawn at its quotidian character— Leucanthemum vulgare. When dried ox eye daisies are somewhat bitter and subtly sweetly floral. Glendalough gin is the perfect drink to enjoy on a warm summer day, and it makes a great addition to any barbeque or party. What’s the best pink gin to buy? Glendalough gin is made with a base of Irish grain spirit and distilled using a copper pot still. The botanicals are carefully selected to create a unique flavor profile that reflects the natural beauty of Glendalough. If you buy Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin for it on its own or for what it does well, you’re in for a treat. Initially, all five founders took distilling courses and did a great deal of learning on the job to produce their batches, helped along by an old friend of Keenan’s – Rowdy Rooney. Rowdy now oversees all distillation at Glendalough and is very precious when it comes to letting anyone else near his still, Cathleen – a gloriously shiny, 500l Arnold Holstein beast. He takes a painstakingly methodical approach to distillation, tasting and smelling his way through each run to make head, heart and tail cuts depending on the alchemy of each day. There are no robots around – everything is done manually.

Micil Irish Gin

Shortcrosss Gin is made at Rademon Estate Distillery in Northern Ireland using a range of locally sourced botanicals, including wild clover, elderflowers, elderberries and apples. The gin comes across as creamy and sweet with spiced vanilla notes. I paired Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin with Fever Tree’s Mediterranean Tonic in a Gin and Tonic, and I found that it was so bright and herbal already it didn’t need the botanicals from the tonic water. I’d even go so far as suggesting you pair Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin with a classic tonic water to let the gin’s character shine. A rich gently pine-forward nose. Perhaps more fir bud than straight-up juniper (though there is a touch of that in there, too). Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin continues to cool with hints of lemon balm, woodruff and fresh meadow. It is certainly evocative of a place. It smells fresh, like a grassland in bloom. Loving this nose.

No matter how you choose to drink it, rose gin is a delicious and refreshing spirit that’s perfect for any occasion. Thanks for reading! Beyond celebrating a holiday with an icy glass of gin, these Irish spirits are also great to enjoy year-round! Dingle GinIf you’re looking for something a bit more indulgent, you can also try mixing rose gin with champagne or prosecco. This creates a delicious and elegant drink that’s perfect for celebrating special occasions. But it’s time-consuming – it takes at least 7 years to make a batch of whiskey. It requires certain types of barrels. And it takes a lot of space to store all those barrels for so long. Another thing to keep in mind is the color of the gin. Glendalough Rose Gin is a beautiful pink color, so it’s a good idea to serve it in a glass that shows it off. A highball glass or wine glass are both good choices. This floral-forward gin is produced in Connemara and sources inspiration from the local bog environment that surrounds its distillery. Thus, Micil Irish Gin features a range of locally sourced wetland botanicals, including heather, hawthorn berry, bogbean and bog myrtle.

Serving Glendalough Rose Gin is easy- just pour it over ice and enjoy! However, there are a few things to keep in mind when serving this unique spirit. Don’t mess with Bertha. Big Bertha was a legendary cow from Co Kerry. Something of a local celebrity, she is entered into the Guinness Book of World Records – she lived some 49 years and gave birth to 39 calves! And when she died, she was so famous that they held a wake for Bertha.I wasn’t able to find much current information on availability so there is a chance that it might be hard to get a bottle. I saw some press releases that stated it was available in the UK and in a handful of US states.

The casks we have crafted are 250-liter hogsheads, slow-toasted using oak fire, then given a level 3 char. The Irish oak amplifies the flavour of the bourbon casks while adding layers of sweetness and bready, woody, earthy notes. No matter what type of gin you are looking for, you can find it in India. So, which one is the best? It really depends on your taste preference. However, all of these gins are sure to please your palate. What mixer is best with pink gin? To ensure the future of our native oak forests these trees are harvested under a Continuous Cover Forest Management System in which we plant seven saplings for every one oak tree felled. Because the only requirement for liquor to be called gin is the inclusion of a certain quantity of juniper berries, this leaves the distiller a lot of creativity. Gin is a sort of blank canvas – once the mashing is done and the juniper is added, the distiller can play around with their recipe.This single estate spirit is made with great attention to detail from grain harvested from the estate. Once it has been turned into alcohol, it is used along with 11 botanicals in a triple distilling process in Classic London Dry Style. Given Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin’s bold botanical perspective, it works best with simple, clean, fresh ingredients. I feel like I’m suggesting a Gordon Ramsay approach to mixing with this gin. Pair it with soda (a Gin and Soda) or a fresh grapefruit juice ( Salty Dog) and let the botanical sing. Our Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin review. This is a highly-original, fresh-tasting gin from Ireland. The gin is bottled at 41% ABV and has a delicate, floral flavor with notes of honey and citrus. It is best served with tonic and a slice of orange or lemon.
