Glendalough Wild Botanical Irish Gin
Glendalough Wild Botanical Irish Gin is unlike any other gin in the world. To make it, Glendalough employs a full-time forager, Geraldine Kavanagh, who gathers wild botanicals from the Wicklow mountains all year round. Fresh botanicals arrive at the distillery within hours of foraging, where small-batch slow-distillation teases out their delicate flavours. The result is a gin that captures a year in every bottle, with four seasons of wild Wicklow foraging encapsulated in each release. Why You'll Love It This is a gin with genuine depth and meaning. The bottle itself tells the story: designed to look as though it has been picked from the Wicklow forest floor, it features a woven pattern at the base representing Geraldine's handwoven foraging basket, wild botanicals embossed around the glass, and reverent nods to Glendalough's ancient past including the monastery archway, seven churches, and deer stone. It is a secret map for those who know how to read it. International Gin of the Year at the 2023 Italian Gin Awards and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition confirm its standing among the world's finest gins.
