Glendalough, known for their whiskeys and poitín, entered the gin game in 2014 with seasonal gins, one for each season. Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin, launched in early 2017, brings all four seasons together. Their plan is for you to smell the spring, taste both the summer floral and autumnal fruits, and finish up the experience with spices reminding you of winter. A host of wild botanicals are foraged by Geraldine Kavanagh and they are used fresh, not dried in the distillation process. Note: Updated packaging beginning May 2023. (SRP $32.99)

Loads of juniper on the nose, with a somewhat malty base. The palate is crisp, and very much wintery, piney and intensely botanical. After some seconds, the malty flavor comes into play, giving a hefty body and round mouthfeel. The finish is long with the juniper outlasting all the rest. A great gin for a traditional Martini.
Aromas of coriander, juniper, elderflower, licorice, mint, and pine bark. Juniper, coriander, and pine bark reappear with intensity on the palate, complemented by sage, more mint, and a touch of clove. Lightly oily mouthfeel. Finishes long, with very little burn. 3.50/5.00 – Impressive (neat)

Mild botanicals. Oily mouth. Pleasant but nothing really pops.
