Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin
$38.50
At the edge of a lake in a shed in a small Irish town, the ordinary is made extraordinary. Within is the laboratory of PJ Rigney, boundary-pushing begetter of hand-made spirits who slow distills gin with natures finest oriental botanicals and gunpowder tea.
The nose of the gin is bold with pepper and spice, juniper lending a green character that’s studded with notes of dusky earth. The palate finds the green tea element exploding immediately. Slightly sweet, reminiscent of matcha, there are hints of vanilla ice cream and even some saffron amidst the otherwise herbal base. A bold juniper note reprises the nose, melding quite well with the unusual green tea flavors.
