Glendalough Rose Gin (75cl, 41%)

Glendalough Rose Gin, officially Glendalough Wild Rose Irish Gin, is a rose-petal gin from Glendalough Distillery in County Wicklow, Ireland. It is vapor-distilled with wild rose foraged from the Wicklow mountains, heritage rose and Damask rose, then infused after distillation with more rose petals for a natural pale-pink hue. No artificial flavours or sweeteners are used. It was first made to honour head distiller Ciaran Rooney's mother Rose, at his brother's wedding. The base is a remixed Wild Botanical recipe with fruit, flower and spice notes lifted. The nose has bright lemon and blood orange, soft juniper and fresh rose. The palate shows distinct rose petal, bright berries, Turkish Delight and citrus with a nectar sweetness. The finish is long and floral, with pink peppercorn and earthy spice.
