Blackwater Wexford Strawberry Gin

Gin description

If you have to look at the label to know what ‘seasonal’ gin you are drinking, then it’s not very seasonal is it? So taste not marketing lies at the heart of Wexford Strawberry Gin. So we don’t mention summer or seasonal, instead we let the customer join the dots. Smart lot our customers. The one big problem with strawberries is they are mostly water. Distil water and what do you get? Even more water. So we have to use lots and lots and lots of strawberries to make an impact. Each and every strawberry we use was grown for us in Wexford by Susan Kearns, they are frozen, shipped to us and macerated in alcohol for 48 hours to fully extract their flavour. We then mince the berries and add the whole lot to our still. After distillation we add even more strawberries to our gin, along with some blackcurrants; this gives our Wexford Strawberry Gin its wonderful nose and rose tint.
