Glendalough Rose Gin

To make this very special, small-batch Gin Glendalough completely re-balance their Wild Gin recipe and re-distill it with extra fruit, flowers, spices... and of course a lot of fresh rose petals. Three varieties of rose are used; the rare and elusive Wild Rose from the Wicklow mountains, large fragrant Heritage Roses and the ancient prized Damask Rose. All of which come together to make this a naturally pink and very floral gin. Given the delicate nature of petals as an ingredient, this gin is distilled even slower and more gently than their wild botanical gin with vapor distillation playing a bigger part in extracting those essential oils and flavors. After distilling, it is further infused with even more roses to deepen the flavors and of course the lovely pink hue. This is not "just another pink gin", far from it. The depth and complexity really needs to be tasted to be understood. Floral, fragrant and flavorful, it  comes after a lot of experimenting with plants, fruit, spices and flowers.
