Glendalough Rose Gin

Glendalough Rose Gin was created in honour of the head distiller's mother, Rose. The core ingredient is roses of all varieties: Wild Roses, particularly robust Heritage Roses as well as historic Damascene Roses, which were already cultivated in ancient times. Further flavours lend the Irish Gin wild herbs and fruits that grow in the vicinity of the Irish distillery: elderflowers, wild raspberries, roses and woodruff as well as typical Irish herbs such as orris root or yarrow. The history of Glendalough goes back to the year 518, when Saint Kevin retreated into the Irish wilderness, where he lived for seven long years. Legend has it that he stood in the water for 13 days and 13 nights with blackbird eggs in his hands until the chicks hatched. He stayed there for another 13 days until they fledged. Saint Kevin is depicted in the pose on the bottles of Glendalough.
