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.
"FRESH & EXPRESSIVE GIN" A Gin of great freshness, lemony with an explosivity in the mouth.
TASTING NOTES : NOSE: sweet with rich aromas of caramel and vanilla, slightly smoky. PALATE : indulgent with notes of butter caramel, malt, citrus, and a well-present peat. FINISH : Persistent smoke, with touches of vanilla and yellow fruits.
Aromas of panettone and candied lime lead, while flavours of white chocolate, lemon truffles and hazelnut balance perfectly on the palate. Sweet citrus returns on the finish with blood orange accompanied by notes of toasted oak.
Aromas of poached pears and traditional rhubarb and custard sweets lead, while on the palate notes of strawberry jam are accompanied by Turkish delight and light butter pastry. The finish is rich with cinnamon spiced red apple.
