Jackford Irish Potato Gin - Review & Tasting Notes

About Jackford Gin
Jackford Irish Potato Gin is the first distilled spirit from Stafford Irish Spirits. It was created by John Stafford to use the surplus potatoes that don’t meet retail requirements and to reduce waste on the Stafford family farm in Enniscorthy in South East Ireland. The Wexford potatoes grown on the farm are used to create the base spirit for the gin in place of the more commonly used grain base. The Gin Guide Review Jackford Irish Potato Gin is something of a surprise package. From the farmyard imagery of the bottle to the deep herbaceous notes on the nose, your senses give you preconceptions of the upcoming taste. Then on the palate, particularly when opened up with ice or water, a bright and fruity gin emerges with a core of juniper and classic gin botanicals. The mouthfeel is very smooth, while black peppercorns give a kick in the finish. The gin also stands out brightly in a G&T, with prominent tangy and sweet fruit notes. Orange peel and basil each make for ideal garnish options. - Paul Jackson, 2019 |
