Experience the floral symphony of Glendalough Wild Rose Gin, a beautifully crafted spirit birthed from a poignant family story. This gin, far from being just another pink concoction, is a special tribute to 'Rose', the mother of Glendalough's head distiller. Made initially for a family wedding following Rose's passing, this gin carries an emotional narrative, encapsulating her spirit in every sip.
The meticulous process of creation begins with the handpicked flowers from Rose's own garden, combined with wild roses and plants from the verdant Wicklow Mountains surrounding the distillery. The botanicals are then slowly vapour distilled to unlock their intense floral essence. Further infusion with roses deepens the flavours and bestows the gin with a captivating pink hue.
The result is a remarkably floral gin. Its depth and complexity of flavour challenge the status quo, offering a delightful blend that needs to be tasted to be fully appreciated. It's not merely a pink gin; it's a flavourful journey through fruit, spices, and flowers, each sip promising a taste sensation.
Behind this extraordinary gin is the Glendalough Distillery, established by a group of friends from Wicklow and Dublin. Their shared passion for reinvigorating Ireland's craft distilling heritage led them away from their regular jobs and into the mountains, echoing the adventurous spirit of St Kevin, the legendary monk whose image graces their bottles.
St Kevin's story, deeply intertwined with the distillery's ethos, inspires the team at Glendalough. His devotion to a life in harmony with nature, symbolised in the tranquillity of the monastic settlement he founded in the 6th century, motivates their sustainable foraging and distilling practices. Glendalough, "the Glen of two Lakes", is one of the most picturesque valleys in Ireland, whose enchanting scenery and ancient ruins never cease to inspire and stir souls.
Whether you're a novice to the world of spirits or an experienced enthusiast, Glendalough Wild Rose Gin offers an unparalleled flavourful experience. Its rich history, coupled with the depth of its taste, presents a unique opportunity to explore an Irish spirit steeped in legacy and heritage.
