Bertha's Revenge Small Batch Irish Milk Gin  £38.40

BERTHAS REVENGE SMALL BATCH IRISH MILK GIN

Using whey alcohol from the local dairy farmers in Cork, together with their own natural well water and an interesting mix of foraged and sustainably sourced botanicals, Ballyvolane have hand-crafted a gin that highlights the character of Bertha in her prime.

Jaunty juniper leads, followed quickly by the spicy and warming notes of cardamon, cumin and sweet citrus. The complexity of Bertha is evident and enthralling. She demands to be tasted.

Whey alcohol base comes to the fore on the palate. Like a conductor of an orchestra, she holds and releases the different notes to maximum effect. Effortlessly smooth from the start, sweet orange, coriander and peppery Alexanders are joined in a warming motherly caress of cumin, clove and cardamon. The generous nature of the spirit washes over the palate, finishing in a gentle spice-tinted heat that delivers a considered murmur of approval from your taste buds.
