Description

“We made adjustments along the way and identified four key groupings of botanical type in citrus, spice, floral and herb – eventually, we chose an eclectic fusion of 16 botanicals, led by black lemon and Irish gorse flower, and distilled the gin in ‘Mickey’s Belly’, Ireland’s oldest gin still first commissioned in 1958, at the Micro Distillery, Midleton.

Gin already has a connection to Midleton, where Method & Madness is based; “A notebook kept in the Midleton Distillery archive dating back to the 1790s, written by a rectifier in Cork called William Coldwell, details the recipes, botanicals and methods that informed the creation of Irish Distillers’ Cork Crimson Gin in 2005. In reimaging these recipes for Method& Madness Gin, we combined the knowledge and tools of the past with the skills of the present to create a gin for the future.”” 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Midleton Distillery

Hailing from the Midleton Distillery, the brand was formed in collaboration between the Master Distillers and the Apprentices. It’s a partnership that is meant to breed innovation and encourage a dialogue. They’ve certainly achieved something special already with the Method and Madness Gin.

The results have been excellent so far, with some really intriguing malts appearing. The brand has created drams matured in wood casks you wouldn’t usually encounter, such as Hungarian Oak and Chestnut.

The brand brings together a combination of expertise and inquisitiveness, which makes for the perfect team.
