This is a gin unlike any other. Even from year to year, it will differ from the previous batch. Each season they go out into the wilds of the Wicklow mountains & forage with their botanist friend, Geraldine. They pick what grows & distill with it the very next day. This is the garden of Ireland in a bottle. Even when you look into the bottle you can see the place it has come from
- with each bottle having a landscape photo taken on the day of our foraging. This is a gin with not only a sense of place, but a sense of time too. While the spring gin is a fresh mix of young green shoots, wild botanical leaves & flowers, the summer gin tastes like a meadow in bloom, with amazing floral flavours & light early fruits. Autumn is as you'd expect, only even more so. Packed with wild fruits & berries, it's the bounty of the surrounding mountains bottled. & we won't lie, our Winter gin is a tough one to get out. Some years we can't even make a batch, it completely depends on what kind of winter we get.

Long before there was Irish whiskey there was poitin {potcheen}. Every distilled drink across the world from rum to gin, to vodka or absinthe, you name it, can trace its ancestry straight back to poitin. Nose: Slight in nature & might fool you. If you didn't know better you might sense a faint Riesling fragrance, no less. Oak, berried fruit, gooseberries & blackcurrants are in there. The Mountain Strength holds true with that extra headiness of the high alcohol. Where as a slight zest of orange & blueberry sweetness comes through in the Sherry Cask Finish. Taste: Creamy & mellow in the mouth & hangs on the tongue with a trace of lychees. There are hints of black, cracked pepper, especially so in the Mountain Strength. Some dried fruits show up in all three poitins, with dried apricots featuring in the Sherry Cask Finish. Touches of vanilla & toasty oak throughout also. A very full flavoured poitin that goes down nicely. ...

Wait for a comforting, spicy tail, even spicier in the Mountain Strength, along with dried fruit & berry notes throughout the range, but even more so with the Sherry Cask Finish that also holds more vanilla from the extra time with the oak. ...
