Hendricks gin 70cl
€44,00
Hendricks is an idiosyncratically produced small-batch gin distilled in Ayrshire, Scotland. The unusual distillation process combined with the oddly delicious set of infusions yields a one-of-a-kind gin that is passionately loved by a tiny yet growing handful of individuals all over the world.

BROOKLYN GIN 42% 70CL
€47,95
Brooklyn Gin is an homage to the Brooklyn Distilling Company first founded in 1895 but closed shortly thereafter. It was founded anew by Angel "Joe" Santos, who has partnered with Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery to make the best gin possible. In his own words, "I cut, pulp, and peel all of my citrus fruits. I crack open my juniper berries by hand. After we distill, we fill, cork, and label the bottles by hand. I go door-to-door to local bars and liquor stores to sample my gin and hand deliver every bottle." The gin itself is a traditional London...
BOBBYS DRY GIN 70CL
€44,99
Bobby's Gin is named for Jacobus "Bobby" Alfons, grandfather of Sebastiaan van Bokkel who founded the brand. The gin is made blends traditional London dry style botanicals (juniper, fennel, rose hip, coriander) with Indonesian spices (lemongrass, cloves, cubeb pepper, cinnamon). This strikes us a spicier profile against the traditional juniper-forward background. Even the bottle is meant to be a combination of East and West with a genever style bottle designed with Indonesian patterns. The gin is produced out of Herman Jansen in the Netherlands.
BEARA IRISH OCEAN GIN 70CL
€52,20
From the Beara Distillery located in West Cork on the Beara Penninsula. This gin uses local botanicals to give it a unique flavour along with salt water and sugar kelp taken from the sea. The distillery has a traditional German Muller still as well as a highly automated I-Still giving them a highly flexible setup.
Aviation American Gin 70cl
€49,75
Aviation gin is a "Dutch style" or genevere gin (a bit sweeter than one might normally expect compared to a traditional dry) and made from a base of 100% rye grain. They call it a "botanical democracy" of juniper, cardamon, coriander, lavender, anise, sarsaparilla, and orange zest. In an interview with the Tasting Panel Magazine (January, 2013), founder Ryan Magarian mentions that the gin was invented as a result of his love of the classic Aviation cocktail, which he regarded as an awakening of his palate after the "un-approachability" of gin-and-tonic and gin-martini cocktails (heresy!). The gin came as a...
HAPENNY GIN 70CL
€46,27
Ha'Penny Dublin Gin is named for the Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin and meant as iconic reference to their Dublin-styled gin. The spirit itself is a blend of 13 botanicals that include geranium, dandelion, lavender, and blackberry that are similarly meant to inspire local, Victorian-era times. This is a floral mix that is more in the modern-style of gin rather than the juniper-forward notes of traditional London dry.
The Pearse Lyons Distillery is located in Dublin and founded by Pearse Lyons.
GLENDALOUGH WINTER GIN 500ML
€34,95GLENDALOUGH WILD BOTANICAL GIN 41% 70CL
€39,00
Glendalough Gin is released in dedicated seasonal batches said to be limited to 3,000 bottles. Each of the 4 seasons is represented owing to the "unpredictable Irish weather resulting in an ever changing array of botanicals, berries and fruit." This suggests to us that the year-to-year releases may differ in flavor (and perhaps even botanicals) even if labeled in the same season, implying a true "vintage" gin. The botanicals themselves are at least partially harvested by foraging in the wild in Wicklow County. The spring edition is made with juniper, coriander, angelica, orris, orange, lemon, liquorice, cinnamon, sorrel, beech leaves,...
GLENDALOUGH SUMMER 500ML
€33,99
For this gin local botanicals were foraged from the area around Glendalough and were combined with traditional gin aromatics before being distilled together in the company's small copper still. For this batch the following botanicals have been used. Juniper, corriander seeds, lemon peel, angelica root, licorice root, bitter almond, orris root, darred malt, ceylon cinnamon, ginger, all spice, elderflower, lemon balm, pine shoots, blackberry flowers, blackberry leaves, orange flowers, hop flowers, wild rose, wild raspberries, wild raspberry leaves, clover flowers, meadowsweet and fraughan berries.

DUBLIN CITY GIN 70CL
€56,00
First launched in 2016 Dublin City Gin is a premium handcrafted dry style gin with carefully selected Botanicals. It includes Organic Rhubarb grown along the Grand Canal in Dublin itself. Irish Milk Spirit provides the ideal base for our cherished recipe giving the extra silky finish we love. Our distilling batch, only 600 bottles strong is deliberately smaller than most. We like prepping and delivering one premium batch at a time. This is because everything is hands on, we roll up our sleeves, gin-up, and do everything from scratch, making sure we get it just right, every time. To our...
Clemengold Gin 50cl
€49,73
ClemenGold Gin is named for the signature flavor of the South African Mandarin Orange also called a Clemengold. With the orange and the signature juniper, it includes botanicals of orange zest, cinnamon, honey, almond, angelica, orris root, and coriander. This strikes us as a classic dry style of gin with citrus forward notes familiar to enthusiasts of gins from the Mediterranean. Hope on Hopkins Distillery was founded on the elusive dream of many white-collar workers toiling in cubicle walls: Lucy Beard and Leigh Lisk "abandoned" London to found the distillery in Cape Town, South Africa for the purpose of making...
BOMBAY SAPPHIRE STAR 70CL
€53,00
Bombay Sapphire gin is the well-known gin in the blue-tinted bottle. First launched in 1987, it is the product of Madison Avenue design firms and herbal blends from England based upon the London Dry flavor profile. The Star of Bombay expression was released as an extension of the flagship gin, adding botanicals of Bergamot orange and Ambrette seed while increasing the bottling proof to a cocktail-crowd pleasing 95 proof. The bottle announces itself as London dry gin but the botanical set reminds us of a more modern, citrus and floral profile outside of the classic ingredients, so we have dared...
BOMBAY SAPPHIRE EAST 70CL
€38,00
Bombay Sapphire gin is the well-known gin in the blue-tinted bottle. First launched in 1987, it is the product of Madison Avenue design firms and herbal blends from England based upon the London Dry flavor profile. The gin itself is not blue but rather named "sapphire" for its striking blue bottle. The Bombay Sapphire East gin is a newer and even more modern take on gin in that it is a further departure from the London Dry juniper profile. It includes additional botanicals of lemongrass and pepper. The Bombay Sapphire brand was originally produced by contract at G & J...
BREIL PUR LONDON DRY GIN 700ML
€81,99
Breil Pur gin is made in the traditional London Dry style (though made in Switzerland) with a mix of botanicals that include the traditional Alpine juniper but also includes the more avant garde Alpine rose, rhododendron, and chocolate mint, making the traditional flavors flirt with the more modern.
BLACKWATER WEXFORD STRAWBERRY GIN 50CL
€34,00
Blackwater Wexford Strawberry Gin begins life as their No. 5 Gin, which is a traditional London dry style featuring the heavy juniper flavors that are iconic to the Martini enthusiast and gin purists in general. They add a 13th botanical, strawberry, and then macerate (soak) more strawberries in the spirit following. This gives the gin a light, rose color and flavor. We qualify it as a flavored gin for this reason, though the berry could be considered a botanical. Blackwater Distillery was founded in 2015 by Peter Mulryan in the West Waterford area of Ireland, which they regard as premium...
Bloom Rose Gin 70cl
€47,95BLACKWATER JUNIPER CASK GIN 50CL
€43,00
Blackwater Juniper Cask Gin begins life as their No. 5 Gin, which is a traditional London dry style featuring the heavy juniper flavors that are iconic to the Martini enthusiast and gin purists in general. They then had small barrels made from juniper wood—extremely unusual and a world first for all that we know—and age their gin in these special casks. This makes their limited edition aged gin. Blackwater Distillery was founded in 2015 by Peter Mulryan in the West Waterford area of Ireland, which they regard as premium growing grounds for grain and dedicate their spirits to that terroir....
BLACKWATER NO 5 IRISH GIN 50CL
€34,50
Blackwater No. 5 Gin is a traditional London dry style featuring the heavy juniper flavors that are iconic to the Martini enthusiast and gin purists in general. For the No. 5, Blackwater, they reached back to an importing record from 1844 from White's of Warford. After investigating those exact but now "overlooked" spices the "spice islands," they selected two of which now form the basis for their signature flavor (alas, undisclosed and a secret of the recipe). Blackwater Distillery was founded in 2015 by Peter Mulryan in the West Waterford area of Ireland, which they regard as premium growing grounds...
Fair Gin 50cl
€40,00Berkeley Square Gin 70cl
€57,99Bloom Gin 70cl
€43,95
Bloom Gin is what they call a "romantic twist in the world of gin." Blended with demineralized spring water down to a light 80 proof relative to the more traditional gins, it includes botanicals such as chamomile, pomelo, and honeysuckle, which might lead it to a more modern classification but we have adopted the traditional dry label in deference to their own declaration. It is produced by G&J Greenall who claim a traditional stretching back to 1761 when the distillery was founded by Thomas Dakin.
