Three guesses to determine the place Wilde Irish Gin hails from — and, no, the spirit isn’t purple, solely the bottle is. Made in West Cork from 100% Irish grain, the pot-distilled gin’s botanicals aren’t specified save for a pair: wild mountain purple heather and bitter orange peel.
Fairly fragrant, there’s a robust floral thread up prime, evoking lavender and clear linens, then a milder citrus high quality. Juniper isn’t significantly heavy right here, because the gin takes an general more energizing and extra perfumed strategy.
On the palate, the gin carries rather more of a punch. Right here the florals turn into way more perfumed — heavy and a little bit overbearing, as in case you simply walked right into a Sephora. Flamed orange peel, grapefruit, and a pinch of spun sugar sweetness make an look earlier than the gin segues right into a heavier natural character that evokes rosemary, lime leaf, and, finally, contemporary juniper branches.
A shocking powerhouse of taste that also makes me really feel like I’m traipsing by means of a area of blossoms, I count on this gin’s heavy floral element will finally be polarizing — simply because the namesake author that impressed the identify of the gin was, again in his day.
