A rich gently pine-forward nose. Perhaps more fir bud than straight-up juniper (though there is a touch of that in there, too). Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin continues to cool with hints of lemon balm, woodruff and fresh meadow. It is certainly evocative of a place. It smells fresh, like a grassland in bloom. Loving this nose.
The palate begins with some more traditional gin character at first. Juniper builds into a heavily floral mid-palate. A melange of fresh blooming flowers spreads across the palate: rose, woodruff, creamy honeysuckle, and rain-kissed leaves. The finish sees citrus emerge from the background, with some more herbaceous juniper, and a touch of spice. Cooling licorice crystallizes on the palate with overtones of menthol, ushering a long finish as Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin cools slowly.
There’s a lot happening in here. Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin seems to wear many hats at once. Juniper-notes, floral-notes and spice-notes come in seemingly three separate waves. The palate is distinctly green in character and I’d characterize it overall as incredibly plant-based. Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin is somewhere between the herbal world and the floral world.
