Description

Drumshambo Gunpowder Irish Gin is a distinctive, spice?led dry gin from The Shed Distillery in rural Ireland, built around a grain neutral spirit and a 12?botanical lineup that includes juniper, coriander, cardamom, star anise, meadowsweet, angelica and orris, plus Chinese gunpowder tea, Chinese lemon and oriental grapefruit. The green?tea element sits at the heart of the profile, lending a gently smoky, matcha?like depth that mingles with bright citrus, floral herbs and a peppery warmth, all balanced at 43% ABV. On the nose it is boldly aromatic, with juniper, fresh citrus zest, herbs and a hint of tea?leaf earthiness, while the palate layers grapefruit and lime with sweet vanilla?like meadowsweet and warm spice, finishing slightly sweet, oily and herbal. It shines neat or in a Martini, gimlet or gin?tonic, where the tea?driven complexity lifts the drink without overpowering it. For a matching ritual, pair it with a Dunhill White Spot Amber Root or Dunhill White Spot Cumberland, Dunhill White Spot Sidecar Case (10s) Zig?Zag Gawith Hoggarth Brown House, Edwin Jagger silvertip lather, Wilsons Snuff Red M., and a Davidoff Petit Corona or a Nicaraguan puro.
