Tasting Notes

Nose

Hillside of wild flowers — fuchsia, rosehip, elderberry, angelica, meadowsweet, the rare steam infusion technique preserving delicate florals

Palate

Highland botanicals with maritime notes — the Mourne Mountains' unique microclimate evident, juniper with meadowsweet florals, mint freshness, elderberry depth, the thumper keg's gentle extraction producing remarkable clarity

Finish

Floral and clean — meadowsweet and fuchsia lingering, the Mournes' wild landscape persisting, dry juniper

Expert Review

7/10

Northern Ireland's smallest distillery — beside the Mourne Mountains, head distiller Brendan Carty uses a rare steam infusion with thumper keg method. Only local botanicals hand-harvested from surrounding County Down: fuchsia blossom, rosehip, elderberry, meadowsweet. Smells like a hillside of wild flowers.
