Killowen Native Irish Botanical Gin
Killowen Native Irish Botanical Gin is an artisanal Irish gin produced by the small Killowen distillery, located in the highlands of the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland. This gin celebrates the surrounding territory through the use of carefully selected and hand-picked seasonal local botanicals.
Killowen Native Irish Botanical Gin is made using strictly local ingredients from County Down. The botanicals used include wild angelica root, mint, meadowsweet, fuchsia, elderflower, and elderberries, all hand-picked and preserved throughout the year. This unique blend of maritime and herbal botanicals gives the gin a distinctive and unmistakable character, reflecting the pristine nature of the Mourne Mountains.
On the nose, the gin releases fresh and floral aromas with a subtle maritime influence, enriched by the fragrance of elderflowers and balsamic notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, with refreshing mint, berry sweetness, pungent juniper, and a light salinity. The finish is long and fresh, with a pleasant sweetness and a hint of native mint that cleanses the palate.
