About this bottle

Minke Irish Gin is made from a base of whey sourced by local dairy farmers including the distillery's own. Its featured botanical is the rock samphire, also known as sea fennel. The gin's name comes from the Minke whale which swims along the Atlantic Ocean coastline near the distillery in County Cork.

GoodSpiritsNews 4.3

A soft mouthfeel with a citrus greeting on the entry. As it develops, there are some high notes of juniper and spice. The florality comes in at the tail end, with the lavendar adding a colling effect. Overall, this is a friendly and mild gin that is perfect for a G&T or a tropical forward cocktail.
