Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin
Modern Gin
Glendalough // Ireland
Glendalough Distillery, known for its Irish whiskeys, entered the gin category in 2014 with a series of seasonal releases inspired by Ireland’s changing landscape. Launched in early 2017, Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin brings those four seasonal expressions together in a single bottling.
A wide range of wild botanicals are foraged by Geraldine Kavanagh and used fresh rather than dried during distillation, capturing bright floral, fruit, and spice notes that reflect spring through winter. (SRP $32.

Tasting Notes
"Tasting Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin is like falling down in the woods. Flowers greet your nose along with freshly felled juniper and pine needles. The palate is soft and oily. Chewy peppercorns and juicy juniper are the primary flavors. On the second and third taste there’s orris root and bitter citrus as well. All these flavors are bound quite tightly. Best let them unfold in some tonic."
