Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is a distinctive and award-winning gin produced at The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim, Ireland, by the curious mind of PJ Rigney. It stands out due to its unique blend of botanicals, including the intriguing "Gunpowder Tea."

Botanicals:

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin features a fascinating combination of 12 botanicals, some distilled in a copper pot still and others vapor-infused:

Pot Still Botanicals:

• Juniper Berries (Macedonia)
• Angelica Root (Germany)
• Orris Root (Morocco)
• Caraway Seed (India)
• Coriander Seed (Romania)
• Meadowsweet (Drumshanbo, Ireland)
• Cardamom (India)
• Star Anise (China)

Vapor-Infused Botanicals:

• Gunpowder Tea (China): This slowly dried green tea, rolled into small pellets resembling gunpowder, is the gin's namesake and contributes a unique character.
• Lemon (China)
• Oriental Grapefruit (Indonesia)
• Kaffir Lime (Cambodia)

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Bright and citrus-forward, with prominent notes of grapefruit, lemon, and a hint of tropical fruit. The juniper is present but not overpowering, complemented by herbal and slightly floral aromas with a touch of spice. The Gunpowder Tea contributes a subtle green and earthy note.
• Palate: Initially fresh and rounded with a burst of citrus, quickly followed by the characteristic juniper and a noticeable spicy kick. The Gunpowder Tea unfolds with slightly vegetal and subtly bitter notes, adding complexity. Hints of anise, cardamom, and a touch of sweetness from the meadowsweet can also be detected.
• Finish: Delightfully long and refreshing, with a lingering warmth from the spice and a pleasant dryness. The citrus notes persist, often with a final hint of the tea's character.

Overall Impression:

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is a contemporary style gin that balances traditional juniper notes with a strong emphasis on bright citrus and the unique, slightly tannic character of Gunpowder Tea. It's a well-balanced and flavorful gin that stands out from more London Dry styles, making it enjoyable neat, with tonic (especially paired with a wedge of fresh red grapefruit, as often recommended), or as a base for a wide range of cocktails. Its complex botanical blend makes it a versatile gin for both classic and more adventurous drinks.

Awards and Recognition:

• "Best Gin in the World" (Flaviar Awards).
• Spirit Brand of the Year (Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Awards).
• Gold Medals at prestigious competitions like the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

These accolades highlight the exceptional quality and unique flavor profile that have made Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin a favorite among gin enthusiasts and bartenders worldwide.
