About this spirit

Glendalough Wild Rose Irish Gin began as a deeply personal act of love. Head Distiller Ciaran "Rowdy" Rooney first made it to honour his mother Rose, who had recently passed away, at his little brother's wedding. This was his way to have her there in spirit. Carefully-tended flowers from her rose garden are vapour distilled alongside wild roses and plants from the mountains around the distillery. After distilling, the gin is further infused with even more roses to deepen the flavours and give it its beautiful natural pink hue. Every single batch carries roses from that garden. It is a gin made with grief, love, and craft in equal measure. Why You'll Love It This is one of the most distinctive and emotionally resonant gins in Ireland. The flavour profile is intensely floral yet beautifully balanced, with bright citrus on the nose, rose petal and Turkish Delight on the palate, and a long finish of pink peppercorn and earthy spice. At 37.5% ABV it is approachable and versatile, equally at home in a simple gin and tonic or a Rose and Raspberry Fizz. World Gin Awards Country Winner in both 2021 and 2023 confirms its standing as Ireland's finest flavoured gin. Distillery and Production Glendalough Distillery, County Wicklow, Ireland.
