Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is the original flagship expression from The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, Ireland. Distilled with care in copper pot stills, this unique gin infuses traditional juniper and citrus with exotic botanicals like oriental grapefruit, kaffir lime, star anise, and its signature ingredient: gunpowder green tea—a slow-dried Chinese tea that imparts a bold, fresh finish.
