Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin in is slow distilled by hand in Drumshando using 12 different botanicals from 9 countries, each hand-picked by PJ Rigney on his curious journey across the globe. Our namesake Gunpowder tea along with star anise originates from China, oriental grapefruit from Indonesia, caraway seed and cardamom from India and the classic gin botanical juniper from Macedonia. The meadowsweet in our gin is locally sourced and foraged once a year locally to the distillery in Drumshanbo. Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is the winner of the coveted "International Spirit Brand of the Year" award at Wine Enthusiast's Wine Star Awards recognising the brand's innovation and contribution to the spirits world. Serving suggestions: To be enjoyed simply with a generous wedge of fresh red grapefruit and premium tonic water or in a deliciously refreshing cocktail. The curious journey of a curious mind. Through the years, Drumshanbo Gin's founder PJ Rigney has taken many journeys from the familiar into terra incognita. In time, those travels brought him here, to the wild and unspoilt landscape of Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim. And it was here that his curious mind, filled with the great oriental traditions of distilling fruit, herbs and botanicals, got to work. He created The Shed Distillery of PJ Rigney, with its medieval copper pot stills, and began a quest to fuse oriental botanicals with the local Irish ones. As it turned out, they got on very well indeed. The result of this passionate exploration is Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin – unique, extraordinary, and as remarkable as the elusive creature PJ has occasionally glimpsed in the fields, the Drumshanbo Jackalope.
