XIN Gin from Ahascragh Distillery is a unique gin that merges Irish and Asian influences. Named after the Mandarin word "Xin" (meaning "heart" or "feelings"), it combines botanicals like rose, persimmon, juniper, lemongrass, and cinnamon. With aromas of citrus and herbs, and a balanced flavor of exotic fruits and spices, it offers a warm, lingering finish.
Ahascragh Distillery is Ireland's first carbon-neutral distillery, located in the village of Ahascragh, County Galway. Founded by Gareth and Michelle McAllister, the distillery revitalized a 19th-century mill, blending traditional architecture with modern technology.
