M.S. Walker, a New England-based national importer and distributor of wines and spirits, has launched Garnish Island Gin in the U.S. market.

The gin is made at West Cork Distillers in Skibbereen, Ireland, by Deirdra Bohane — Ireland’s only female master gin distiller.

This spirit is inspired by the Italian Botanical Gardens of Garnish Island, located off the southern coast of Ireland. It’s a classic gin with light floral notes of hibiscus, iris and rose, the company says, matching with rosemary and thyme. Also on the palate are hints of dark chocolate and strawberry.

Garnish Island Gin is now available for a suggested retail price of $26.99 for a 750-ml. bottle.
