Irish Gin of four seasons.

Saint Kevin, an Irish Saint born in 498 in County Wicklow in Ireland, lived most of his life in the valley of Glendalough as a hermit. After growing tired of his followers, he moved to Glendalough, lived in a man-made cave, and slowly built up civilisation.

It is Saint Kevin’s pioneering spirit and strength of character which inspired the five founders of the Glendalough Distillery to revive the heritage of craft distilling in Ireland. They started off with traditional Irish spirits; Poitin and Whiskey, before venturing into Gin.

Glendalough started producing four different varieties of their Gin; one for each season, with the first being released in Summer 2014. The team forages for local botanicals, distilling them the next day when fresh to keep all of their essential oils (where many Gins would use dried).

Each of the four Glendalough Wild Gins have the same base spirit and botanicals (including juniper, coriander, orris root, lemon and orange peel), with one dominant botanical to capture that season.

More recently the team has launched Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin - capturing all four seasons in one bottle. Made with liquorice root, lemon, elderflower, raspberry, blackberry leaves, wild rose and more, it’s a wildly complex Gin. Slow distillation (which takes 24 hours from start to finish) ensures the flavors teased out from the fresh botanicals give the best depth of flavor. This Gin is fresh and floral on the nose, citrus and mellow fruits give way to warming spices for a long finish.

He was a monk, but not the sort fo monk we might think of today, we like to think he was more like Bear Grylls – his passion was the wilderness, God and doing things his own way, the hard way. We really liked that about him - doing hard, but right way. That’s the reason he’s on the front of our bottle," explain the founders.
Few Gin distillers make their own alcohol. Gin usually starts with neutral Spirit: A commodity that distillers buy in bulk. It’s what the distiller does with this commodity in the flavor-infusing process that makes each Gin different.
Juniper berry is the main ingredient of Gin. They are usually picked wild by independent workers throughout Europe and sold via distributors to Gin makers worldwide.
As with many other Spirits, Gin was originally intended to be used as a medicine—to battle malaria.
How much Tonic is in a Gin & Tonic? The ideal proportions for a perfect Gin & Tonic is one part Gin and two parts Tonic.
While juniper-heavy Gin is perfect for your daily G&T, it is also complemented extremely well by tea flavours such as Earl Grey. Try steeping Earl Grey tea bags in Gin for an hour before mixing it with lemon juice and soda for a refreshing tipple. This one gets you additional kudos, so let’s keep it between us.
