Here 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.
Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin with Sardinian Citrus offers a vibrant and refreshing twist on their traditional gin. It is distinguished by its infusion of Sardinian Citrus, known locally as "Citrus monstruosa," a rare and pulpy fruit that brings a uniquely bold citrus flavour to the gin. This expression maintains the foundational botanicals of the original, including juniper, meadowsweet, and gunpowder tea, but introduces a bright citrus-forward profile that feels both exotic and familiar.
Nose:
The nose is marked by a delightful array of aromatic experiences, starting with the gunpowder tea's subtle smokiness, complemented by bright notes of the distinctive Sardinian Citrus. This combination offers a tantalizing aroma that blends traditional gin botanicals with a fresh Mediterranean twist.
Palate:
On the palate, this gin presents a fresh and rounded flavour profile. It opens with a refreshing burst of juniper and spice, quickly followed by the lush, vibrant zest of Sardinian Citrus. The botanicals are well-balanced, providing a complex but harmonious taste that's both invigorating and smooth.
Finish:
The finish continues with the lively citrus theme, leaving a lasting impression of clean, bright flavours that invite you back for another sip. The citrus elements blend seamlessly with the earthy, tea-infused undertones, creating a finish that is both long and richly textured.
