The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin comes from The Shed Distillery in County Leitrim, Ireland, the creation of drinks innovator PJ Rigney. What sets it apart from typical London Dry gins is the use of Gunpowder green tea as a signature botanical, alongside an eclectic mix of fruits, spices, and traditional juniper, giving the spirit a distinctly modern, layered character.
On the nose, expect juniper intertwined with citrus and a subtle green tea note that carries through onto the palate, joined by warming spice and a touch of exotic fruit. The Gunpowder tea lends a light tannic quality to the finish that makes this gin feel more complex than most. Its bold, aromatic profile means it holds its own in a Gin and Tonic — Drumshanbo is famously served with a slice of grapefruit rather than the usual lime — and it also works well shaken into citrus-forward cocktails.
Since launching, Drumshanbo Gunpowder has become one of the most talked-about Irish gins on the market, prized for its unusual tea-infused character and striking clay bottle. Shop this Irish gin online at Habits Bottle Shop and discover why it's become a bartender favorite.
