Celebrate International Gin and Tonic Day on Thursday 19th October with Micil Distillery’s very own handcrafted Irish gins.
Micil Distillery’s unique gins are West of Ireland takes on contemporary dry gin, made using local flowers and herbs that are macerated in copper pot stills overnight and have remained in the still during distillation. They’re inspired by the bogs, hedgerows and seashore of Connemara, and the historical trade links with Southern Europe that gave Galway City its distinctly Latin feel.
— Micil Irish Gin —
A luxury Connemara Gin with extraordinary flavour, handmade at Micil Distillery using local flowers and herbs. Awarded Best Irish Contemporary Gin at the 2022 World Gin Awards. Micil Irish Gin is distilled with wild Connemara flowers and herbs including bog myrtle, heather, hawberry, and the same Connemara bogbean added to Micil Distillery’s poitín for over 170 years.
Tasting notes: A balance of citrus, spice and rich floral flavours. A fragrant citrus nose, with hints of heather and bog-myrtle, gives way to classic juniper and sweet liquorice notes, warm spice and a silky lasting finish.
