Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin with Brazilian Pineapple

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin with Brazilian Pineapple is an artisanal craft spirit produced by The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, Ireland. Distilled in traditional medieval copper pot stills, this expression combines slow pot distillation of core botanicals with vapor infusion. The recipe layer builds upon the signature oriental botanicals of Gunpowder Irish Gin (including gunpowder tea, meadowsweet, coriander, and citrus) with an infusion of sweet, juicy Brazilian pineapple. The result is a vibrant, tropical profile balancing sun-ripened fruit sweetness, subtle green tea tannins, and crisp piney juniper.

Food Pairing: Grilled shrimp skewers, Hawaiian pork belly tacos, spicy Thai crab cakes, fresh goat cheese crostini, mango salsa, and coconut cream tarts.

Tasting Notes: Crystal clear in appearance with a smooth, rich, and juicy mouthfeel.

Nose: Intensely aromatic up front, opening with ripe tropical pineapple, bright citrus zest, and sweet floral meadowsweet, backed by resinous pine juniper and subtle green tea notes.

Palate: Full-bodied and vibrant on the palate, featuring sweet golden pineapple and juicy citrus oils, balancing into earthy gunpowder tea tannins, warm cardamon spice, and crisp pine needle.

Finish: Long, refreshing, and clean with lingering notes of tropical fruit, soft baking spice, and a bright botanical lift.

Serve: Serve over ice topped with premium Indian or Mediterranean tonic water, garnished with a wedge of fresh pineapple or a lime wheel, or build into a tropical French 75, Pineapple Southside, or Tiki-inspired Negroni.
