Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin 750ml

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is made at The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, which PJ Rigney opened in 2016. It is named after gunpowder green tea, one of its 12 botanicals, which goes in a vapour basket with the citrus above medieval-style copper pot stills.

Bottled at 43%, it has an assertive citrus aroma with a hint of tropical fruit, then juniper, green tea and a drying grapefruit-peel finish.

For a grapefruit gin and tonic, Gunpowder is the gin to buy. For tea notes from Japan instead, try Roku, and Tanqueray is the classic juniper choice.

The producer's serve is a gin and tonic with a thick wedge of ruby red grapefruit. It also makes a lively Southside or Gimlet.

A distinctive bottle that has become a bar favourite. More bottles are under gin, and the rest of our liquor is a click away. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery across NYC.
