Drumshanbo: Irish gin with Gunpowder Tea and a curious soul

Drumshanbo is an Irish spirits brand from Drumshanbo, County Leitrim. The brand is best known for Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin: a fresh, spicy, and aromatic gin that combines Oriental botanicals with local Irish distilling artistry. The recognizable touch? Chinese gunpowder tea, a green tea whose leaves are tightly rolled into small pearls.

At Flavor Shop, you will find Drumshanbo for those who love gin with character, fresh citrus, spicy depth, and an original story.

The story behind Drumshanbo

Drumshanbo is made at PJ Rigney's The Shed Distillery in the small Irish village of Drumshanbo. The distillery was born out of curiosity: a quest for unique botanicals, ancient distillation techniques, and flavors from different parts of the world.

According to The Shed Distillery, PJ Rigney wanted to blend Eastern botanicals with local Irish ingredients. That idea led to Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin: a gin that feels simultaneously exotic, fresh, and artisanal.

Why choose Drumshanbo?

Drumshanbo is ideal for those seeking a gin that differs from the classic London Dry style. The gin remains fresh and accessible, but the combination of citrus, herbs, botanicals, and gunpowder tea gives it more tension and complexity.

The brand pairs perfectly with gin and tonic, refreshing cocktails, spritzes, and aperitif moments. Thanks to the striking bottle and compelling story, Drumshanbo is also very suitable as a gift for gin lovers.
