Blackwater Wexford Strawberry Gin
The strawberries for this gin were grown just outside Enniscorthy in County Wexford, by Susan Kearns. For maximum flavour the strawberries are distilled but even more are added before bottling to enhance the flavour. A little sweet on the palate but with very nice fruitiness. Not overpoweringly flavoured but very much a classic London dry styled gin with nice touches of citrus and juniper. This is a limited edition gin and will not last long!
