FAQs
Garnish selection should amplify the botanicals already present in the gin rather than compete with them. Seafoid and Dingle use coastal botanicals that pair well with cucumber and sea herbs. Glendalough Wild Botanical gins, foraged seasonally, suit elderflower and lemon verbena. Bertha's Revenge, made from Irish whey spirit, works exceptionally well with pink grapefruit and cardamom. Default cucumber and lime works for most, but it is a missed opportunity with complex expressions.
Irish gin is a juniper led spirit produced in Ireland, distilled from a neutral base and redistilled with botanicals that must include juniper as the dominant flavour. What distinguishes the Irish category is the growing use of native foraged botanicals: coastal plants, wild heather, sea buckthorn, and hedgerow fruits. Distilleries including Dingle, Glendalough, Bertha's Revenge, and Shortcross have established a distinctly Irish botanical vernacular.
Irish gin starts with a neutral base spirit, typically grain or sometimes Irish whey, which is then redistilled with a botanical basket. Juniper is the legal cornerstone. Irish producers commonly add native botanicals including bog myrtle, sea buckthorn, hedgerow elderflower, wild heather, and coastal herbs. Dingle uses locally foraged botanicals specific to the Kerry Peninsula; Glendalough changes its botanical bill seasonally based on what is available in the Wicklow Mountains.
