Product notes
To make this extraordinary gin, we forage wild plants in the mountains around the distillery. What we pick goes fresh into the still within hours of foraging.
Production notes
To create Glendalough Rose Gin, the distillers remixed their Wild Botanical Gin recipe, bumping up the fruit, flower and spice notes. In addition, the distillers added three types of rose to the mix - specifically wild rose from the Wicklow mountains, heritage rose and Damask rose (a particularly esteemed variety).
Tasting notes
On the nose, soft juniper notes with fresh rose. Fresh flowers and fragrant juniper sweetness, blended by orange oil sharpness cutting through. A hint of liquorice slowly appears.
