Muckross Irish Gin Wins GOLD at the World Taste Awards 2025
Every bottle of Muckross Irish Gin carries the same care and character that define the wild beauty of Killarney National Park. This year, that dedication has been recognised on the world stage. The judges at the World Taste Awards 2025 awarded Muckross Irish Gin a coveted GOLD medal. For our team, it is both a proud moment and a reflection of everything we believe Irish craft gin should represent.
A Global Seal of Quality
The World Taste Awards are among the most respected benchmarks of flavour and quality in the international food and beverage industry. A panel of 18 experts, known as the French Sensory Collective, judged the entries in France. They used a rigorous blind-tasting process to assess each product on its own merits. As a result, the awards inspire consumer confidence and celebrate excellence without compromise.
In 2025, the panel recognised 75 outstanding products from 21 countries. Muckross Irish Gin stood proudly among them with a GOLD medal for Sensational Flavor.
What Makes Our Gin Stand Out
The judges evaluated Muckross Irish Gin using the F.L.A.V.O.R. method. This system examines every sensory element, from appearance and aroma to texture and finish. Their feedback highlighted the distinctive profile that makes our gin unique.
Form – A clear, vibrant appearance that reflects the wild Irish landscape.
Linger – A long, evolving finish with elegant bitter notes that stay with you.
Aroma – Remarkable complexity, with a balanced mix of fruity, herbal, and sweet notes.
Vitality – A rich, layered flavour that is vibrant, citrus-led, floral, and herbaceous.
Overall Texture – A refreshing, cooling mouthfeel that suits the style perfectly.
Refinement – A harmonious and authentic profile, celebrated for its depth and character.
This sensory journey makes Muckross Irish Gin memorable. It shines both neat and as the foundation for beautifully balanced cocktails.
