Lune d’Abricot is the rebirth of a traditional liqueur, Apricot Brandy. The Merlet family has selected several varieties of apricots from partner producers in Roussillon, leveraging their status and expertise as blackcurrant growers and winemakers to select fruits at optimal ripeness.
TASTING NOTES:
COLOR: Yellow-orange.
NOSE: A distinguished and powerful apricot nose with spicy and woody notes, a blend of wildflowers, exotic fruits (mango), and a hint of almond.
PALATE: Both lively and creamy on the palate, with honeyed touches (acacia, linden), apricot pulp, and citrus undertones (lemon, orange).
FINISH: A fantastic length with a hint of honeysuckle and bitterness. Generous, indulgent, silky, and even dry.

It is produced by the Distillerie Merlet & Fils with AMÉRISSE, who wanted to sublimate this fruit by combining it with several bitter plants such as gentian, angelica, mugwort and rhubarb to reinforce its natural astringency, and then with other berries and citrus fruits that increase its fruity flavours and complexity tenfold.
To make this extraordinary gin, Glendalough forage wild botanicals in the Wicklow mountains all year round. Geraldine Kavanagh, our full time forager, brings the wild, fresh botanicals to the distillery within hours of foraging where small-batch slow-distillation is used to tease out the delicate botanical flavours. Glendalough Wild Botanical Irish Gin serves the taste of 'a year in every bottle' and perfectly captures a place in time, with four seasons of foraging in wild Wicklow encapsulated in each bottle.
Matured in a unique combination of 1st fill Bourbon and 1st fill Sherry casks for notes of fresh apple, sweet floral grass and hints of chocolate. ‘Vinaya’, a Sanskrit word meaning respect and gratitude, pays homage to the original founders of the distillery who paved the way, as Bladnoch looks forward to an exciting new era of production and innovation.
