Nose
Fresh juniper with citrus and pine — a forest clearing in spring with wet grass and muddled mint, lemondrop and lime zest over earthy character
Palate
Chewy peppercorns and juicy juniper — orris root and bitter citrus tightly bound, distinctly green and incredibly plant-based, three waves of juniper, florals and spice
Finish
Cool and mellow rushing to nectarous summer flowers then autumn fruits — warm winter spice completing the four-season journey
Expert Review
7.2/10Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin is a shrewdly positioned London Dry at 41% ABV that trades on the foraging narrative, offering an approachable entry point in an increasingly crowded botanical-forward market.

— Irish Craft Excellence
The wild botanical concept elevates this above typical London Drys. At 41% the foraged ingredients bring an earthy, herbal quality that feels genuine and unprocessed. Well made.

— Wild Botanical Masterpiece
Glendalough have created something truly special with this wild botanical gin. At 41% ABV the London Dry style is enriched by foraged Wicklow ingredients to create a gin of extraordinary character. Magnificent.

— Foraged and Fabulous
The wild botanical approach really works here. There's a freshness and authenticity at 41% that you simply can't get from commercially sourced ingredients. Irish craft at its finest.
