Bertha's Revenge Small Batch Irish Milk Gin

A gin distilled from Whey. The nose is of  Juniper, Lactose, Evergreen and Indian Spice. The palate has a creamy feel with bright citrus, dried juniper, orange peel, anise and baking spice. D&M Tasting Notes

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

"All is not butter that comes from the cow!"

Nose – 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.

Palate – our 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.

 One of the great tests of a gin is how they perform in a martini. Bertha, stirred for 60 seconds with ice and a suggestion of vermouth, poured into a chilled glass with a simple zest garnish delivers a gloriously smooth and precise cocktail experience. Ballyvolane House Spirits Company
