Drumshanbo Gunpowder Brazilian Pineapple Gin

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is produced at The Shed Distillery in County Leitrim, Ireland, a craft distillery known for innovative botanical combinations and meticulous small-batch distillation. Founded by PJ Rigney, the distillery draws inspiration from global ingredients and traditional Irish craftsmanship, creating spirits that blend adventurous flavour with balance and precision.

The Brazilian Pineapple expression builds on the original Gunpowder Irish Gin recipe, which incorporates botanicals such as juniper, citrus, oriental spices, and Chinese gunpowder tea. The addition of Brazilian pineapple introduces bright tropical sweetness and fresh acidity while complementing the gin’s existing citrus and spice-driven profile.

Distilled slowly in copper pot stills, the gin maintains clarity and structure while integrating fruit character naturally into the botanical framework. The result is a refreshing and fruit-forward gin that remains sophisticated and highly versatile for cocktails and contemporary serves.
