At Glendalough Distillery we progressively-craft luxury spirits in the Wicklow Mountains, in Ireland. We hope these spirits evoke a sense of place through their depth of flavour as they are an expression of what we love about these mountains.

Glendalough is also home to a 6th century settlement founded by St Kevin, the man on our bottle, who turned his back on a life of wealth and privilege in search of something more meaningful. After years of exploring the Irish wilderness Kevin came across the majestic valley he would come to call home. He went on to dedicate his life to nature and taking the path less travelled.

One day he arrived at the deep, isolated valley of Glendalough. He stood with his arms outstretched, marveling at its beauty. A blackbird landed on his hand and laid her eggs. He took it as a sign, a test of his resolve. So, there he stood, steadfast, day and night until the eggs hatched and the birds fledged. This story, and many others about Kevin, drew people from all over Ireland to the valley

Over time this beautiful valley nestled in the Wicklow mountains of Ireland formed the historical and culturally rich valley that is Glendalough today.

Botanicals
To make our gins, wild plants from the mountains around the distillery are hand-picked each day. What’s foraged is brought back to the distillery within hours. They are painstakingly slow distilled to tease out delicate flavours, in tiny batches of less than 250 litres. The cut-points are decided batch by batch, by smell and taste (never timed or automated) as if each batch is the first.

Born on the back streets of Shanghai, the hustle and bustle charm of the world’s biggest trading port was the perfect inspiration from a more adventurous gin.

The name Peddlers was inspired by Shanghai’s traditional street culture that still exists today. Since 2018, the production of gin has started. The organic botanicals are foraged from locations such as Sichuan, Yunnan and Gansu for a distinctively Eastern flavour unlike any other gin.
JUNIPER BERRIES, SICHUAN PEPPER, and BUDDHA’S HAND are the most interesting botanicals.

Santa Margherita

Santa Margherita Winery was founded in 1935 in the countryside of Italy’s Veneto region, where founder Gaetano Marzotto named the winery after his beloved wife.

Currently, 28.4 million bottles of wine are produced annually and exported to 95 countries and 5 continents. From growing grapes to bottling, they use environmentally friendly and least harmful methods at every stage, making them stand out among other brands. It is also the first brand to make white wine from brown-skinned Pinot grigio grapes.

Lamole di Lamole

Chianti Classico wines are produced exclusively in Tuscany’s central region and are identified by a special sticker. Located at 200-600 meters above sea level on a variety of soils and with hot days and cool nights, Chianti Classico wine is made from Sangiovese grapes.

The Lamole di Lamole vineyard began in 1945 with the first planting of 110 vines and is distinguished by its altitude of 650 meters above sea level. Unlike other producers of similar products, Lamole di Lamole produces wines using traditional methods.
