At present there are only two gins made in Ireland and one of these is the artisan Dingle Original Gin. This handcrafted Gin was Launched by Financial Districts very own historic Irish pub, Fraunces Tavern!
Dingle Original Gin is made in small batches of 500 litres. Categorized as a London dry gin with a unique character and flavor from the original choice of botanicals. This combination of flavor elements are macerated in spirit for 24 hours. Then, when the spirit is distilled, it passes through a flavour basket in the neck of the still.
“We are not prepared to reveal our recipe but are happy to give some idea of what is involved in creating the unique flavour profile of Dingle Original Gin. We use, amongst other botanicals, rowan berry from the mountain ash trees, fuchsia, bog myrtle, hawthorn and heather for a taste of the Kerry landscape. It’s a formula unknown elsewhere and is calculated, amongst other things, to create some sense of place and provenance, what winemakers might call the gout de terroir.” - Dingle Distillery
