For anyone looking to branch out and explore new territories in the gin world, Lough Ree Distillery should certainly be on your radar. Their premier product, Sling Shot Irish Gin, features citrus and mint top notes cradled by the boldness of juniper and cardamom. What really sets this gin apart, however, is the inclusion of peat, as Lough Ree Distillery is the first distillery to ever use this ingredient as a botanical in gin. The peat adds a subtle, pleasant earthiness that you truly have to taste to appreciate.
