Tasting Notes
Nose
Intricate complexity with dried flowers, firm juniper core, coriander seed, citrus zest, and greener earthy notes — like walking into a steamy hothouse
Palate
Fresh blast of juniper, garden mint and green chilli, softening to hay-like, earthy characters prettied up by subtle floral heather notes — rich, round, and oily
Finish
Clean and dry with plenty of pepper and citrus — refined and well-balanced, belying the 47.3% ABV
Expert Review
7.5/10An Irish gin built on five-times-distilled whey spirit with organic botanicals including wild heather — herbaceous, complex, and carrying the spirit of the Waterford countryside.
