Produced at the Dingle Distillery in County Kerry, this gin reflects a modern Irish approach that combines classical structure with a strong sense of place. Distilled in small batches, it uses a neutral grain spirit as its base, with a carefully selected botanical mix that includes both traditional gin elements and locally foraged Irish botanicals. Among these are rowan berry, fuchsia, bog myrtle, and heather, which contribute to its distinctive regional identity.
Launched as one of the distillery's early releases, it helped establish Dingle's reputation within the growing craft spirits movement. Rather than pursuing extreme innovation, it positions itself as a balanced, contemporary gin - rooted in London Dry principles but softened and broadened by its botanical selection. Its identity is closely tied to provenance, with an emphasis on local sourcing and small-scale production, appealing to drinkers who value authenticity and subtle differentiation within the gin category.
