Distilled at Blackwater using botanicals from their monastic garden that would have been familiar to some of Ireland's earliest distillers back in the 11th and 12th centuries. Around the time the Ardmore round tower was built in County Waterford, in fact.
Batch 1 is a release of 750 bottles.
Aromatic citrus surrounds notes of fresh linen and rose. Dried juniper brings a helping of slightly Christmas-y spice.
Spring blossoms, lemon meringue and violets. A little bit buttery.
Red apples and crisp juniper on the finish.
A yummy, gin-shaped time machine from Blackwater.

Nice gin. Fruity and refreshing. Lovely with star anaise and cinnamon stick - very Christmassy
There's an almost 'acidic' attack to this on first nosing, that is simply irresistible. The palate is a wonderful balance of the promised citrus from the nose, but with a healthy does of herbal (fresh herbal) character that delivers a hugely lengthy finish. All the while underpinned by Juniper. Just superb.
