Drumshanbo Gunpowder California Orange Citrus Irish Gin

Drumshanbo Gunpowder California Citrus Gin is an intriguing variation of the original Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin, crafted at The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, Ireland. This edition features the signature blend of 12 oriental botanicals and gunpowder tea, enhanced by the addition of California orange citrus. This aims to create a bright and zesty gin experience, inspired by PJ Rigney's travels to the sun-kissed western coast of the USA. It is bottled at 43% ABV.   

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Expect a fragrant aroma where the distinctive gunpowder tea and oriental botanicals are complemented by bright and fresh notes of California orange citrus. 
• Palate: The palate is described as delightfully fresh and rounded initially, with refreshing hints of juniper and spice, followed by a burst of sweet and zesty California orange citrus. Some detect an approachable character with a balanced sweetness and mild warmth.   
• Finish: The finish is typically clean and crisp, with lingering notes of the bright orange citrus and a gentle hint of the underlying spice from the gunpowder tea and other botanicals.   

Awards and Recognition:

• Platinum Award at the 2023 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge. 
• Silver Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (Likely 2025 based on search results).
• Rated 94 Points by Spirits Review Online.   
• Rated 92 Points by Bottle Raiders.

Overall Impression: Drumshanbo Gunpowder California Citrus Gin offers a bright and refreshing twist on the original Gunpowder Gin, successfully integrating the zesty character of California oranges. The citrus notes are prominent but well-balanced with the gin's signature spice and green tea elements, creating a complex and approachable spirit. This gin is versatile for enjoying in classic cocktails like a Gin & Tonic (especially with an orange or grapefruit garnish) or in more citrus-forward creations. It's a compelling choice for those who appreciate a gin with a vibrant and sunny disposition.
