Beforehand we introduced you protection of the (stable) Irish whiskey of Grace O’Malley. Now we flip to a different class of booze named after Eire’s pirate queen: gin. Botanicals (14 in whole) usually are not solely disclosed, however embody “the defining flavors from the west coast of Eire together with wild thyme, purple clover, blackthorn, wild bilberries, and rock samphire.”
It’s an unique, uncommon gin — however the unrelenting emphasis on native botanicals appears to do the spirit a disservice. The nostril is evocative and distinctive, showcasing a mixture of inexperienced herbs — heavy on thyme — with a lot of cardamom backing it up, evoking, bizarrely, a recent bowl of Indian curry. The palate is a bit astringent, and once more doesn’t really feel significantly “Irish” however relatively initially Asian, extra of that cardamom making a heavy affect. Dusky and earthy because it pushes towards the end, the conclusion goes darker and darker, evoking notes of black pepper, moss, and overbrewed black tea unnoticed in a single day. Overtly woodsy, it overpowers even the juniper within the combine, the gin culminating in an nearly acrid, brambly character that retreats relentlessly again into the earth, by no means to return.
Barely off-putting, and never my favourite gin up to now.
86 proof.
