Description
To make this small batch Gin we fill the still with our Wild Botanical Gin and a variety of freshly picked Rose petals. The rare and elusive Wild Rose, large, fragrant Heritage Roses, and the ancient, prized, Damask Rose all come together to make this a naturally pink and very floral gin. After distilling it is infused with even more roses to deepen the flavours and of course the lovely pink hue.
To make this very special, small-batch Gin we completely rebalance our Wild Gin recipe and redistill it with extra fruit, flowers, spices... and of course a lot of fresh rose petals.
Three varieties of rose are used; the rare and elusive Wild Rose from the Wicklow mountains, large fragrant Heritage Roses and the ancient prized Damask Rose. All of which come together to make this a naturally pink and very floral gin.
Given the delicate nature of petals as an ingredient, this gin is distilled even slower and more gently than our wild botanical gin with vapour distillation playing a bigger part in extracting those essential oils and flavours.
After distilling, it is further infused with even more roses to deepen the flavours and of course the lovely pink hue.
This is not “just another pink gin”, far from it. The depth and complexity really needs to be tasted to be understood. Floral, fragrant and flavourful, it is some of the best, most interesting gin we’ve made and comes after a lot of experimenting with plants, fruit, spices and flowers.
