DRUMSHANBO - Ceramic Bottle Horse Edition - Gunpowder Irish Gin - 43%
Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is an exceptional artisanal Irish gin, distilled by The Shed Distillery in the heart of County Leitrim, an emblematic region of Ireland where distillation traditions are revived. Founded by explorer PJ Rigney, the distillery stands out for its ability to fuse local botanicals with unique influences from the East. The name "Gunpowder" refers to the famous Chinese green tea rolled into pearls, a signature element that gives this gin its distinctive identity. Since its creation, The Shed Distillery has established itself as one of the references for premium gin in Ireland, notably thanks to its sought-after special editions. The limited edition "Ceramic Bottle Horse Edition" enhances the product's originality by drawing inspiration from the Chinese zodiac calendar, paying tribute to the Year of the Horse with a sublime ceramic bottle, illustrating the pursuit of exclusivity and elegance. This collector's piece, available at Clos des Spiritueux, appeals both by its high-end presentation and its attachment to the roots of artisanal and contemporary Irish gin.
With an alcohol content of 43%, Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is made from a meticulous blend of exotic and traditional plants. The juniper base is enhanced by bright citrus fruits such as fresh lemon and grapefruit, while a sharp selection of spices and aromatic plants reinforces the gin's complexity. The gunpowder green tea, a pillar of the recipe, injects a vegetal note, subtly tannic and sophisticated. Distillation, carried out in authentic copper stills, guarantees the pure extraction of aromas and the full expression of each ingredient. Some botanicals are patiently infused, others steam distilled to preserve all their aromatic freshness. The final result seduces with its remarkable balance between freshness, intensity, and aromatic depth. This collector's edition retains the original and premium gin of the classic version; only the presentation evolves with this ceramic bottle in tribute to the Year of the Horse, adding a festive and distinguished touch to any collection.
Tasted neat or in cocktails, Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin reveals a powerful aromatic bouquet, dominated by the liveliness of fresh citrus and the refined vegetal notes of green tea. On the nose, citrus aromas are supported by touches of juniper and cardamom, offering complex depth and a subtle peppery hint. On the palate, this gin seduces with its lively and refreshing attack, carried by citrus, before herbal, spicy nuances and a slightly dry structure provided by the gunpowder tea emerge. The perfect balance between freshness and intensity makes each tasting dynamic and elegant. The finish lingers long, highlighting a return to citrus, refined bitterness, and notes of soft pepper. For an optimal experience, it is enjoyed in a gin and tonic with a pink grapefruit zest or revisited in sophisticated cocktails that reveal the richness of its aromatic profile. Discover this collector's gin at Clos des Spiritueux, ideal for enthusiasts seeking authenticity and originality in the premium spirits market.
