Minke Irish Gin
Inspired by the Minke whale, the majestic creatures that swim wild off the Atlantic Ocean coastline. The same local coastline which is home to the unique botanical - Rock Samphire - that gives Minke gin its distinct flavour profile. The Rock Samphire imparts its subtle yet unqiue flavour to this carefully crafted gin giving smooth and sophisticated refreshment with citrus and aniseed notes.

Tasting Notes from the Producer | |
Aromas (without water) | Very fresh, not strongly juniper but more citrus with a hint of that fennel/aniseed aroma |
Flavour | The fennel comes through on the palate too, with more citrus, the juniper a little stronger, and a dash of salt from the wild ocean setting |
