Dingle Original Gin
Dingle · Dingle Distillery
Dingle's gin captures the wild Atlantic hedgerows of Kerry without relying on novelty botanicals. The balance between classic juniper structure and softer floral elements makes it versatile — equally at home in a Martini or a G&T with a sprig of rosemary.
Nose
Bright juniper leads with a piney, resinous edge, followed by waves of floral rose, gentle coriander seed, and a bright citrus thread. There's a creamy, almost waxy quality underneath.
Palate
The juniper stays central but makes room for angelica root's earthy bitterness, a distinct violet note, and a warming ginger spice. It has real textural weight for a London Dry style.
Finish
Medium-long with herbal juniper, a flicker of lavender, and a clean, peppery exit.
