Step into the world of unique flavours with Dingle Original Gin, a carefully crafted spirit that perfectly encapsulates the essence of its picturesque Irish birthplace. This award-winning gin comes from the esteemed Dingle Distillery, a symbol of the remarkable resurgence of independent distilling in Ireland. Since its establishment in 2012, in the scenic coastal town of Dingle, County Kerry, the distillery has excelled in handcrafting small batches of spirits that are rich in complexity and character.
Dingle Original Gin is the result of considerable research, technical ingenuity, and a commitment to innovation. It is a nod to the great tradition of gin distilling, yet it brings a fresh perspective to the craft. Falling under the umbrella of London dry gin in style, the Original Gin distinguishes itself through a unique choice of botanicals, an intimate distillation process, and an unwavering dedication to capturing a true sense of place.
The gin's unique character emerges from a variety of botanicals, including the rowan berry from mountain ash trees, fuchsia, bog myrtle, hawthorn, and heather. These indigenous ingredients infuse the gin with a taste reminiscent of the Kerry landscape. The botanicals are macerated in spirit for 24 hours and, upon distillation, pass through a flavour basket to create a gin that is as unique as its homeland.
Distilled at 70% ABV and then cut to 42.5% ABV using purest water from the distillery's own 240-foot deep well, Dingle Original Gin boasts a fabulously fresh, floral character. As Peter Mosley, the master distiller puts it, the gin's unique character, perfectly balanced with traditional juniper, is something "you really have to taste for yourself."
For an ideal serve, enjoy Dingle Original Gin over large ice cubes, garnished with a fresh orange wedge and a sprinkling of juniper berries. This serving suggestion enhances the gin's unique flavour profile, offering a drinking experience that is refreshing and enlightening.
Dingle Original Gin has not gone unnoticed by industry experts. At the World Gin Awards 2019, it outshone 400 entrants from 20 countries, taking home the prestigious titles of World's Best London Dry Gin and overall World's Best Gin. This accolade serves as testament to the distillery's commitment to quality and its ability to craft a truly exceptional spirit.
