Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin offers a fresh, forested, and deeply rooted experience that captures the true taste of the Irish wilderness in every sip. Distilled in County Wicklow, Ireland's renowned "Garden County," this gin is a tribute to the valley it calls home, crafted from hand-foraged botanicals harvested daily from the surrounding hills, woodlands, and meadows.
Unlike traditional gins, Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin presents a layered and lush profile. The nose reveals invigorating notes of pine, fresh herbs, and wildflowers, reminiscent of a damp forest after rain. On the palate, expect a complex and evolving blend of bright green sorrel and elderflower balanced with earthy roots, heather, and a subtle flicker of spice. Citrus is present but understated, woven beneath layers of herbaceous, floral, and woodland character. The finish is clean and lingering, with a soft, bitter edge that adds structure and intrigue.
This gin shines in its simplicity. Ideal for a classic G&T with crisp tonic and a sprig of fresh mint or rosemary, it also elevates cocktails like the Southside, Garden Martini with dry vermouth, or a Collins with cucumber and lemon. Its light, crisp, and refreshing nature means it requires no syrupy mixers or embellishments to impress.
Key Features:
- Wild-foraged Irish botanicals and creative barrel aging define this bold, regional gin.
- Crafted with hand-foraged, seasonal botanicals picked in the surrounding forests and meadows.

Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin is more than a spirit; it is a landscape, a climate, and a philosophy of distilling that works harmoniously with the land. Each bottle tells the story of misty mornings, moss-covered trails, and untamed Irish flora. For those seeking a gin that leans herbal and aromatic, evoking a forest glade rather than a fruit bowl, this gin is a must-have. It is a thoughtful, terroir-driven spirit that balances deep complexity with beautiful drinkability, like a walk through the Wicklow woods, perfectly bottled.
