Micil Spiced Orange Gin (70cl, 42%)

Micil Spiced Orange Gin is an Irish gin at 42% ABV in a 70cl bottle. It builds on the classic Micil Irish Gin recipe with 17 botanicals, adding orange zest and warming spices such as cloves. Regional ingredients include bog myrtle, hawthorn berries, heather and bogbean. Distillation is in batches in a hybrid copper still, with botanicals kept in the still to extract their aromatic oils. The gin links regional plants with citrus and spice, recalling Galway's historic trade with Spain, Portugal and France. It tastes of warming orange, heather and floral notes, with sweetness balanced by a slight acidity.
