Bertha's Revenge Irish Milk Gin (70cl, 42%)

A small-batch gin produced by Ballyvolane House Spirits Company in southern Ireland. Its base spirit comes from cow's milk: the whey is fermented, distilled twice to a high-strength spirit, then distilled a third time with an equal part of water and 18 botanicals before dilution to bottling strength. The botanicals include juniper, coriander, bitter orange, grapefruit, sweet orange, lemon, lime, liquorice, orris root, angelica, cinnamon, cardamom, clover, cumin, almond, elderflower, common sorrel and lady's bedstraw. The gin is rested overnight, then adjusted and bottled and labelled by hand.
