Jackford Irish Strawberry Gin

artisanal gin, infused with Irish botanicals.

Our premium handcrafted gin of 37.5% alcoholic volume, made with a carefully chosen list of botanicals. The creamy, smooth potato base of Jackford is complemented by the natural sweetness from our unique mix of botanicals, balanced to perfection with citrus, spicy and earthy notes with sweet local, Wexford strawberries. Handcrafted using our own special recipe Jackford Irish Potato Gin is a smooth old-style fusion with a few hidden twists, creamy delivering a long finish with a fruit lining that teases and satisfies as only Jackford’s distinctive flavour can.

Plantae & Botanicals

Potato

Solanum Tuberosum

Complex, rich and nuanced, the smooth full mouth-feel that originates from a 100% potato-based spirit is particularly well suited to gin. Potatoes contain protein, no fat, and lots of fibre. They are also a source of potassium, important for healthy blood pressure and contribute a significant amount of Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant and important for immune health.

Cassia Bark

Cinnamomum cassia

A member of the cinnamon family, the bark releases exotic warming, sweet and earthy tones with a sweet finish. Cassia adds a delicate spice flavour to Jackford Gin. As like other mid-palate flavours, its contribution helps balance the overall aroma and taste rather than as a primary flavour.

Juniper

juniperus communis

The backbone of Gin; fragrant and spicy with bitter sweetness tones of pine, lavender and peppery notes. Juniper provides a sharp, piney, and resinous flavour that carries a hint of citrus.

Strawberry

Fragaria ananassa

A sweet and slightly sour flavour. Strawberries are a member of the rose family so add a floral note.

Orris Root

Florentine Iris, Germanica

Perfumed in character, it holds and fixes other botanical flavours and adds floral notes too. Orris root derived from Iris Florentina adds violet and sweet earthy and woody notes to Jackford Gin. The orris root binds the flavours of the other botanicals together, reducing volatility and helping Jackford gin to keep the integrity of its flavour profile for longer.

Liquorice Root

Glycyrrhiza glabra

Melds its beautifully woody- earthiness, fresh and bittersweet qualities to compliment, lengthen and soften flavours. The liquorice taste is not really like liquorice flavour, being woodier and less obviously sweet. Liquorice is prized for contributing an oily texture to the spirit, increasing its viscosity.

Tasting Notes

Smooth, velvet mouth feels reminiscent of dairy cream with the sweetness of berries.
