“Bertha’s Revenge Small Batch Irish Milk Gin has been on my gin wish list for a long time now. I was very pleased to see it included in the recent gin sale in Dunnes Stores recently so I happily picked up a bottle and it’s now sitting proudly in my Gin collection!”

Good Food Ireland shares recipe for 'Salmon gravlax cured with Bertha's Revenge Gin'
Delighted our recipe for Gravlax cured with Bertha’s Revenge Gin was shared by Good Food Ireland. We serve this up to our guests at Ballyvolane House throughout the year. The fragrant spices and citrus notes in the gin work brilliantly with the salmon. It takes three days to cure properly. Serve with dill-mustard sauce and cucumber pickle.
