Expert Review
7/10Northern Ireland's smallest distillery — beside the Mourne Mountains, head distiller Brendan Carty uses a rare steam infusion with thumper keg method. Only local botanicals hand-harvested from surrounding County Down: fuchsia blossom, rosehip, elderberry, meadowsweet. Smells like a hillside of wild flowers.
