Overall experience
- Mixed reception: While many find the gin delightful for sipping neat or with a simple garnish, some reviewers feel it can be too subtle and gets lost when mixed with tonic.

- User satisfaction: Despite some finding it bland, others have called it “the best he has ever tasted,” recommending it to friends.
A premium Irish gin that claims to be the only gin in the world made using shamrock as a botanical! It also quotes Yeats on the bottle (“I have spread my dreams under your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”), but we don’t know if Keats is on their side too. Perhaps not as he’s English, although he did visit the Emerald Isle. Ere long done do does did.
