Glendalough Irish Wild Botanical Gin, 700ml

Product Information

Whiskey is representative of traditional Ireland. There’s a long history of whiskey in Ireland. We’ve had whiskey here for hundreds of years – in fact, Ireland’s oldest continuously operating whiskey, Old Bushmills has been distilling whiskey since 1608. There are a few typically Irish whiskies – Old Bushmills, Jameson, Tullamore, Teeling, Redbreast, and you’ll find them in most traditional Irish pubs.

Made on the 300 acre Echlinville Estate, the Jawbox Classic Dry Gin is situated on the historic Ards Peninsula near Belfast. Serving Glendalough Rose Gin is easy- just pour it over ice and enjoy! However, there are a few things to keep in mind when serving this unique spirit. I’m usually weary of flavored spirits but I’m really impressed with Glendalough Rose Gin. The rose flavor is balanced well with the other botanicals and doesn’t have any artificial qualities that can sometimes be found in flavored spirits. If you want to mix your pink gin with tonic water, you can either use a regular tonic water or a diet tonic water. Some people prefer to use diet tonic water because it has less sugar and calories, and it doesn’t take away from the flavor of the gin. If you’re using regular tonic water, you can add a little bit of sugar to make it more sweet. Finally, make sure to give the gin plenty of time to chill before serving. It’s best served cold, so be sure to pop it in the fridge for a few hours before serving. How do you drink rose gin?

No matter what type of gin you are looking for, you can find it in India. So, which one is the best? It really depends on your taste preference. However, all of these gins are sure to please your palate. What mixer is best with pink gin? Barefoot Contessa’ Host Ina Garten Reveals She’s Never Had a Martini Before — So Stanley Tucci Makes Her One If you’re looking for something a bit more indulgent, you can also try mixing rose gin with champagne or prosecco. This creates a delicious and elegant drink that’s perfect for celebrating special occasions. The casks we have crafted are 250-liter hogsheads, slow-toasted using oak fire, then given a level 3 char. The Irish oak amplifies the flavour of the bourbon casks while adding layers of sweetness and bready, woody, earthy notes. Initially, all five founders took distilling courses and did a great deal of learning on the job to produce their batches, helped along by an old friend of Keenan’s – Rowdy Rooney. Rowdy now oversees all distillation at Glendalough and is very precious when it comes to letting anyone else near his still, Cathleen – a gloriously shiny, 500l Arnold Holstein beast. He takes a painstakingly methodical approach to distillation, tasting and smelling his way through each run to make head, heart and tail cuts depending on the alchemy of each day. There are no robots around – everything is done manually.

The gin is bottled at 41% ABV and has a delicate, floral flavor with notes of honey and citrus. It is best served with tonic and a slice of orange or lemon. Don’t mess with Bertha. Big Bertha was a legendary cow from Co Kerry. Something of a local celebrity, she is entered into the Guinness Book of World Records – she lived some 49 years and gave birth to 39 calves! And when she died, she was so famous that they held a wake for Bertha. When tasting Bertha’s Revenge, a premium gin, you can expect a fragrant nose, soft mouthfeel and warming spicy middle notes to mirror her maternal core. With dairy farming an important industry in the region, Bertha’s Revenge uses whey as its base spirit, separated from the curds which are later used in cheese-making. There are a few different mixers that work well with pink gin. Some people prefer to mix it with tonic water, while others prefer to mix it with cranberry juice or grapefruit juice. It all depends on your preferences and what you think will taste the best.

And then there’s Watermint, which is a weedy, hardy plant with a mint-like character that grows in damp marshes all across Europe. It has a strong mint flavor, somewhat close to peppermint. Which by the way, did you know that peppermint is a hybrid of watermint and spearmint? Me neither. I guess we both learned something. I paired Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin with Fever Tree’s Mediterranean Tonic in a Gin and Tonic, and I found that it was so bright and herbal already it didn’t need the botanicals from the tonic water. I’d even go so far as suggesting you pair Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin with a classic tonic water to let the gin’s character shine. Because the only requirement for liquor to be called gin is the inclusion of a certain quantity of juniper berries, this leaves the distiller a lot of creativity. Gin is a sort of blank canvas – once the mashing is done and the juniper is added, the distiller can play around with their recipe. For one, Glendalough Rose Gin is a little sweeter than most gins, so it’s a good idea to pair it with a mixer that has a touch of sweetness, like tonic water or ginger ale.
