Product description
Glendalough Wild Rose Gin was developed in honour of the head distiller's mother, Rose. The core ingredient is roses in all possible variations: Wild roses, particularly robust heritage roses and Damask roses, which are steeped in history and were cultivated in ancient times. The Irish gin is further flavoured by 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 and yarrow. The history of Glendalough dates back to the year 518, when St Kevin withdrew into the Irish wilderness, where he lived for seven long years. According to legend, 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 a further 13 days until they fledged. St Kevin is depicted in the pose on the bottles of Glendalough.

The Distillery: Glendalough
Glendalough means 'Valley of the Two Lakes' in Gaelic. The valley is also called the Garden of Ireland and is located in the Wicklow Mountains south of Dublin. It was here that five friends founded Ireland's first craft distillery. Glendalough is also known for its 6th century monastic settlement. This was founded by the legendary monk and hermit St Kevin, whose story also inspired the distillery founders and whose figure adorns the Glendalough bottles.
