HA'PENNY Dublin Dry Gin (70cl, 41%)

A Dublin dry gin made in small batches on pot stills, combining classic gin botanicals with plants inspired by Dublin's flora. The recipe uses 13 botanicals, including juniper, blackberries, dandelion flowers, geranium leaves, lavender, bitter orange peel, anise, lemon peel, angelica root, cracked black pepper, liquorice root, coriander and cassia. The brand was created by the team at the Pearse Lyons Distillery, named after Dublin's Ha'Penny Bridge. The distillery is in The Liberties and opened in 2017 in a restored former church. The nose shows lavender. The palate combines blackberry with lavender. The finish leaves a note of orange peel.
