Drumshanbo Gunpowder Sardinian Citrus Irish Gin is distilled with more than 12 oriental botanicals, gunpowder tea, and a hint of Sardinian citrus — one of the rarest citrus fruits in the world found on the island of Sardinia. The mix of botanicals and gunpowder tea gives this gin a uniquely fragrant, almost exotic aroma. Flavors are a delightful meld of orange and grapefruit, which leads to a mysterious finish. Best enjoyed in a smooth, refreshing cocktail or on its own with a generous wedge of fresh red grapefruit.
Key characteristics:
Botanicals:
The gin includes traditional botanicals like juniper, along with oriental botanicals and gunpowder tea, and is further enhanced by the addition of Sardinian citrus.
Citrus:
The Sardinian citrus, specifically Citrus monstruosa, is a key component, adding a unique fruity, zesty sweetness.
Flavor Profile:
The gin offers a balanced blend of juniper, gunpowder tea's earthy bitterness, and the bright citrus notes of orange and grapefruit.
Distillation:
It's slow-distilled in medieval copper pot stills at The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, Ireland.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: The aroma is a mix of fresh citrus peel (lemon and grapefruit), juniper, and subtle floral hints. There's also a spicy undercurrent from cardamom and coriander, with a gentle vegetal note from the gunpowder tea.
Palate: The taste is smooth and well-balanced. Juniper takes the lead, followed by zesty citrus and a peppery kick. The gunpowder tea adds a subtle spiciness and complexity, while the Sardinian citrus contributes a bright, vibrant flavor.
Finish: The finish is clean, dry, and lively, with a lingering citrus oil tang.
