Glendalough Rose Gin 37.5% 700ml
Delicate, romantic, and quietly complex - a garden in bloom, bottled with Irish soul.
Crafted in the lush valleys of County Wicklow, known as the "Garden of Ireland," Glendalough Rose Gin is a masterful blend of floral elegance and artisanal craftsmanship. Distilled in small batches using vacuum distillation for optimal freshness, this gin is infused with three distinct varieties of rose petals: heritage Damask, rare Wild Rose, and fragrant blooms nurtured personally by the head distiller’s mother. This unique combination creates a spirit that is both aromatic and naturally tinted with a soft, blush pink hue.
On the nose, expect a refined bouquet of rose petal, zesty orange peel, and subtle fresh-cut herbs. The palate unfolds with bright floral notes intertwined with layers of citrus and gentle spice, balanced by a delicate sweetness that evokes a serene garden morning. The finish is clean and smooth, with a lightly tannic whisper of botanicals that lingers gracefully.
This gin is versatile and elegant, ideal for sipping neat or elevating classic cocktails. It pairs beautifully with a light tonic and a slice of grapefruit or fresh raspberries, and adds a sophisticated floral twist to a French 75, white Negroni, or a dry Martini garnished with lemon. For a sparkling option, try it in a rosé spritz or stirred with elderflower liqueur for a refreshing, nuanced experience.
Key features:
- Distilled with local Irish botanicals and three types of rose petals for a naturally floral and balanced profile.
- Small-batch, vacuum-distilled to preserve freshness and enhance aromatic complexity.
- Soft pink hue achieved through post-distillation infusion, avoiding artificial coloring or excessive sweetness.
Glendalough Rose Gin stands apart in the world of floral gins by embracing authenticity and subtlety. Rooted in the rich terroir of County Wicklow, it offers a refined, garden-bright spirit that is both thoughtful and utterly drinkable. Experience a gin that is more poetic than perfumed, crafted with heart and a deep sense of place.
