The Muff Liq Co. Irish Gin Bottle

The Muff Liquor Company Irish Gin is a premium spirit produced in County Donegal, Ireland, by The Muff Liquor Company. Inspired by the founder Laura Bonner’s grandfather, a potato farmer and poitín maker, this gin uses a unique potato-based spirit.

Key Features:

• Irish Origin: County Donegal, Ireland.
• Base Spirit: Distilled six times from four different types of Irish potatoes.
• Botanicals: A blend of nine botanicals are cold-infused overnight into the potato spirit before distillation. These include:
  • Juniper Berries
  • Mandarin
  • Lemon Peel
  • Grapefruit Peel
  • Lime Peel
  • Rosemary
  • Elderflower
  • Coriander
  • Angelica
  • Orris Root Powder
• Unique Addition: A hint of Champagne extract is added after distillation.
• ABV: 40% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Aromatic and fresh, with prominent citrus notes (mandarin, lemon, grapefruit, lime) leading the way, followed by floral elderflower and a hint of earthy rosemary. The juniper provides a classic gin backbone but is described as having a low profile.
• Palate: Smooth and vibrant, showcasing a balance of sweet mandarin, refreshing citrus, and herbal rosemary. The Champagne extract adds a subtle effervescent note and enhances the gin’s soft, creamy texture and complexity.

• Finish: Long and elegantly balanced, with a gentle herbal and floral essence lingering alongside a light, refreshing hint of juniper and citrus. Some describe it as having a soft, round creaminess from the potato spirit.

Overall Impression:

Muff Irish Gin is a well-regarded contemporary-style gin that distinguishes itself with its potato base and a unique blend of botanicals, particularly the prominent citrus and the subtle champagne note. It’s considered smooth, well-balanced, and easy to drink, making it enjoyable in a Gin and Tonic or various cocktails.
