Mor Wild Berry Gin

Mór is an Irish gin made in small batches by Arderin Distillery in Tullamore, County Offaly, a business founded by distiller Eoin Bara in 2015. Bara spent around eighteen months developing the recipe. The Wild Berry edition draws on water from the nearby Slieve Bloom Mountains, and its fruit character comes from steeping raspberries, blackberries and cranberries for a full day, while juniper, angelica, coriander and rosemary are vapour distilled to give the gin its herbal backbone.

In the glass it is a fruit-led gin that still tastes like gin. Ripe blackberry and raspberry come through first, sharpened by tart cranberry, with juniper and a savoury lift of rosemary keeping things fresh and lively. Pour it over plenty of ice with a light tonic and a few fresh berries, or use it to give a Bramble or a gin sour a brighter fruit edge.
