Tipple Anytime With This Rose-Petal Gin

Rosé season is always in full swing; a pretty pink drink is appropriate year-round, so these bottles are always ready to serve.

Glendalough Rose Gin, pink and infused with real, romantic wild roses, is the ideal way to step it up this year. This rosé Gin, which you might not have tried otherwise, will broaden your horizons.

Ciarán Rooney (Rowdy) uses fresh roses from his mother’s garden in each batch as a tribute to her and the special bond they shared. Irish rose garden flowers and wild roses and herbs from the Wicklow mountains are vapor-distilled together to make this floral gin. Additional roses are infused into the gin after distillation to enhance the flavor and add a lovely pink hue.

• Nose: aromatic, with soft juniper notes, perfumed with fresh rose
• Taste: Gentle sweet spice, with distinct rose petal, bright berries, and citrus
• Finish: Long, floral, rose petals

Glendalough Rose Gin is a lovely addition to a classic G&T or other celebratory cocktails.
