Glendalough wild botantical gin – hand-foraged & fresh distilled
We make gins of a very different quality, made from fresh, wild ingredients. Each day, glendalough full-time forager geraldine kavanagh ventures into the wicklow mountains to sustainably forage wild botanicals. The wild native botanicals she picks are quickly transported to the distillery where they are painstakingly slow-distilled to tease out delicate flavours, in very small batches of less than 250 litres. The cut-points are decided batch by batch, by smell and taste (never timed or automated) as if each batch is the first. This brings flavour to a whole other level. The knowledge, experience and hours put in to producing each bottle are what make this liquid so special.
Tasting notes:
- the nose: fresh notes of juniper, citrus, pine. A forest clearing in spring rain.
- the taste: cool and mellow at first, rushing to nectarous summer flowers and hints of autumn fruits finally giving way to warm spice.
- the finish: long and sylvan, with warm winter spices.
