Glendalough Distillery is bringing St Patrick’s Day to Merchant House of Bow Lane for a week of Irish celebration this March.
Looking to elevate your St Patrick’s Day celebrations beyond the usual green beer and shots of whiskey? Glendalough has the answer, teaming up with Merchant House of Bow Lane to mark the annual celebration of all things Irish with a collection of bespoke cocktails.
Running from 12-17 March, the Irish distillery is joining forces with the gin and rum specialist bar to offer a dedicated St Patrick’s cocktail menu. Visitors to the bar, home to what is probably the largest collection of gin and rum in the world, will be able to enjoy their specially-created drinks in a comfortable basement to the sounds of old-time jazz, and peruse the curated pantry and bottle shop on the ground floor. They might even find the entrance to the Brig, London’s smallest bar, where there’ll be a taste of something rare and special from Glendalough.
The Irish Gin & Tonic and Martini menu consists of a number of cocktails created by the Merchant House team, starting with a Glendalough & Tonic made with the distillery’s Wild Botanical Gin, and garnished with a marjoram sprig. The Glendalough Martini combines Wild Botanical Gin with Lillet Blanc, and garnished with an onion, while the tall Homeland Highball includes Wild Botanical Gin, 30&40 Apéritif de Normandie, cucumber syrup, soda and a cucumber ribbon. The final drink on the list, Sylvan, matches Glendalough’s Wild Botanical Gin with Greek liqueur Mastiha.
Glendalough recently introduced its new rare and prized whiskey cask programme, consisting of Glendalough 7yo Black Pitts Single Malt, Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey and Glendalough 13yo Mizunara Finish Irish Whiskey. The launch coincided with the unveiling of new bottle designs for the range.
