It had to be an authentic distillery, a return to the traditional methods using gleaming copper pot and column stills, where PJ could experiment with wild grains, Irish flora, and exotic botanicals. The stills had to be state of the art to create the finest of Irish spirits.

Slow distilled by hand in medieval copper pot stills at The Shed Distillery, this creation of the Curious Mind, combines the 8 pot still and 4 vapor infused botanicals collected on PJ’s journey from China back to Drumshanbo with the exotic, refreshing and vibrant Californian Orange Citrus from the Golden State. This curious experience of authentic Americana gives birth to a vibrant and intriguing edition of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin.

Drumshanbo Orange Citrus Gin is a bright, zesty expression that bursts with the vibrant aroma of sweet orange peel, blood orange, and lemon zest, all delicately balanced by soft juniper and floral undertones. On the palate, it opens with juicy citrus and subtle citrus oils, followed by warming notes of cardamom, coriander seed, and a touch of ginger spice that add depth and complexity. Classic gin botanicals like orris root and angelica provide a smooth, herbal foundation without overshadowing the citrus-forward profile. The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering orange zest and a hint of dry juniper. Silky and crisp in texture, this gin is perfect for summer sipping! Whether enjoyed neat, over ice, in a gin and tonic with a slice of orange, or mixed into a citrus-forward cocktail like a Gin Sour or Negroni.
