Drumshanbo Gin

In a small shed in the Irish village of Drumshanbo, a gin is distilled that tastes of gunpowder tea and a bit of adventure. Drumshanbo Gunpowder is the Irish gin that built a bridge between local ingredients and global acclaim, one copper still at a time.

  • Bottle of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Brazilian Pineapple Irish Gin from Ireland
    Item no.: 2222786539-6047-2

    The Shed Distillery lets the exotic sweetness of Brazilian pineapple weave through crystalline gunpowder tea and oriental botanicals in this edition of the house's signature gin.

    Expert's description

    Drumshanbo Gunpowder Brazilian Pineapple Irish Gin is an Irish gin from The Shed Distillery, bottled at 43%.

    The gin builds on The Shed Distillery's original Gunpowder Irish Gin recipe with gunpowder tea and oriental botanicals, adding the exotic sweetness of Brazilian pineapple.

    The pineapple gives a sweet, juicy character that harmonises with the gunpowder tea's earthy, gently spiced base rather than drowning it out.

    The result is a sweet, tangy and refreshing gin with a smooth, well-balanced finish.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose offers green pineapple with hints of papaya, makrut lime leaf and a pine-forward hint of juniper.

    Palate

    The palate opens with gunpowder tea, juniper and a touch of cardamom in a harmonious blend of juniper and oriental botanicals, enhanced by the sweetness of pineapple.

    Finish

    The finish is smooth and refreshing with lingering notes of exotic fruit and gentle spice.

  • Black bottle of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin with gold lettering
    Item no.: 05051-446

    In the small village of Drumshanbo in western Ireland, PJ Rigney builds his gin around gunpowder green tea and botanicals sourced from nine countries. The result tastes as much of the Far East as it does of Irish soil.

    Expert's description

    Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is an Irish gin distilled on twelve botanicals and bottled at 43%.

    The gin is made at The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, the first new distillery to open in the Irish province of Connacht in over a hundred years. Founder PJ Rigney travelled the globe to source his botanicals, and eight of them are slow-distilled by hand in copper pot stills, while four more are added through vapour infusion.

    The name Gunpowder refers to the green gunpowder tea, zhū chá, whose leaves are rolled into small pellets resembling grains of gunpowder. The tea is the gin's signature botanical and gives it an Asian twist that meets classic Irish ingredients like juniper and meadowsweet.

    This 5cl miniature is an easy way to get to know a gin that was named the world's best gin by Flaviar in 2019.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Green tea and fresh citrus peel arrive first, followed by a lightly spiced note of coriander and a touch of meadowsweet.

    Palate

    The gin opens softly with juniper and tea, before coriander seed and angelica root add a spicy lift that keeps the palate lively throughout.

    Finish

    The finish is dry and slightly peppery, with a last trace of green tea tying the whole experience together.

  • Bottle of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Sardinian Citrus Irish Gin from Ireland
    Item no.: 2222786539-60465

    The Shed Distillery in Ireland lets gunpowder tea meet a rare Sardinian citrus fruit called Sa Pompìa, which gives a softer, more floral citrus character than regular lemon or lime.

    Expert's description

    Drumshanbo Gunpowder Sardinian Citrus Irish Gin is an Irish gin from The Shed Distillery, bottled at 43%.

    The gin's signature botanical is Citrus Mostruosa, a rare Sardinian citrus fruit also known as Sa Pompìa, which gives a softer and more aromatic citrus character than regular lemon or lime.

    Together with gunpowder tea, a rolled green tea, the citrus fruit adds a subtle hint of smoke, spice and herbaceousness to the gin's underlying character.

    The gin builds on The Shed Distillery's original Gunpowder Irish Gin recipe, but shifts the focus towards a brighter, more citrus-driven profile.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose offers fresh citrus blossoms with hints of spice, tea and delicate herbal undertones.

    Palate

    The palate is bright and zesty with lively notes of Sardinian citrus balanced by oriental botanicals and a hint of juniper, with zesty lemon candy, grapefruit, gentle herbs and a spicy tea character.

    Finish

    The finish is silky and refreshing with a lingering citrus sparkle and gentle botanical warmth.

  • Bottle of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin with green tea
    Item no.: 2222786539-2021-06-0003

    In the town of Drumshanbo in Co. Leitrim grows the meadowsweet that, together with Chinese gunpowder tea, gives this Irish gin its distinctive, lightly smoky tea character.

    Expert's description

    Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is an Irish gin from The Shed Distillery, bottled at 43%.

    The gin is built on twelve botanicals, eight of which, including meadowsweet, cardamom, juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, orris root, caraway and star anise, are infused directly in the copper pot stills.

    The remaining four botanicals, kaffir lime, oriental grapefruit, Chinese lemon and gunpowder tea, are vapor infused, preserving their volatile aromas.

    The meadowsweet is harvested locally in Drumshanbo, where the distillery is based, and gives the gin a light sweetness that balances the tea's dry, green character.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose offers juniper, cardamom, coriander, tea leaves, grapefruit, angelica and anise.

    Palate

    The palate is oily and velvety with vibrant juniper, grapefruit, tea, cardamom and anise, plus bright lemon zest.

    Finish

About Drumshanbo Gin

Drumshanbo is distilled and bottled at The Shed Distillery in the small Irish village of Drumshanbo, which also gives the gin its name. For newcomers it's an accessible, aromatic gin with an unmistakable tea note; for collectors, the gunpowder tea lends a rare smoky, earthy depth that has turned the brand into one of Ireland's fastest-exported spirits in just a few years.

History & Background

The Shed Distillery was founded in 2014 by entrepreneur PJ Rigney, who wanted to celebrate the Drumshanbo area with a world-class spirit. Rigney had previously been behind several award-winning Irish spirits brands, and with Drumshanbo he committed to small copper pot stills and an unusual botanical: Chinese gunpowder tea. The combination of local ingredients and a global flavour profile quickly drew attention far beyond Ireland, and the gin is now one of the country's best-known spirits.

Production & Style

The gin is distilled from juniper, meadowsweet, and smoked Gunpowder tea, giving it an unusual smoky depth.

Signature Style

Smoky, Botanical, Complex
The flavor offers a complex, lightly smoky character with a clear touch of tea.
