Glendalough Wild Rose Gin is a delicately nuanced yet aromatically complex spirit with a very personal story behind it. This gin was originally created in honour of Rose, the late mother of Head Distiller Ciaran ‘Rowdy’ Rooney, and was first served at his brother’s wedding. To keep her memory alive, the distillery uses carefully tended roses from its own garden, which are vapour-distilled using a particularly gentle process alongside wild roses and botanicals from the mountains surrounding the distillery. This results in an intensely floral, elegant gin. After distillation, it is further macerated with rose petals, which both deepens the flavour and brings out its natural, pale pink colour.


This gin embodies the distinctive signature of the Irish Glendalough Distillery, which is renowned for its closeness to nature and its meticulous craftsmanship. The combination of cultivated roses, wild botanicals and a gentle citrus undertone gives Wild Rose Gin an expressive yet balanced profile. At 37.5% ABV, it is mild, aromatic and perfectly suited to fresh, floral drinks. Its artisanal production and the emotional story behind its creation make this gin a special addition to the range of modern, floral premium gins.

Tasting Note

Colour: Delicate rosé.

Nose: Light citrus notes of lemon and blood orange, gentle juniper, intense floral aromas of fresh roses.

Palate: Crisp rose petals, light berries, hints of Turkish delight, delicate citrus freshness and a light nectary sweetness.

Glendalough Wild Rose Gin is ideal for floral drinks such as a rose gin and tonic with fresh strawberries or lemon zest. Its delicate sweetness and distinct rose and citrus notes make it a perfect match for light dishes such as summer salads, goat’s cheese or fresh seafood. It also complements desserts such as lemon tart, berry compote or rose-flavoured pastries beautifully. When enjoyed neat or on the rocks, it reveals its floral intensity particularly beautifully and retains its aromatic character in the glass for a long time.
