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.


Bottled at 43% ABV, XIN Gin embodies a fusion of cultures and is crafted to be enjoyed in good company.
