Did you know? Drumshanbo is one of the only gins in the world made with gunpowder tea and slow-distilled botanicals from the Far East. This is the full 1 Liter size, a third more gin than the standard 750ml, in the iconic cobalt blue glass bottle.
An Irish Gin That Rewards the Curious
Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin comes from the curious mind of PJ Rigney at The Shed Distillery in County Leitrim, where oriental botanicals meet Irish craft in a way no other gin attempts. Gunpowder tea, star anise, and fresh grapefruit and lime give it a citrus-bright, gently spiced character that turns an ordinary gin and tonic into something you remember.
This is the 1 Liter bottle, so you get a full third more than the usual 750ml pour, in the same striking blue glass that looks as good on the bar as it tastes in the glass. Perfect for the gin lover who has found their bottle and wants more of it, or anyone ready to discover why this one has such a devoted following.

📖 The Story
The Shed Distillery was the first distillery in Connacht in over 100 years when it opened in the tiny village of Drumshanbo. PJ Rigney spent years experimenting before landing on this recipe, which balances traditional gin botanicals with gunpowder tea and oriental spices sourced from his travels along the 41st parallel. Every batch is slow-distilled in a copper pot still named Willie, and the result is a genuinely original Irish gin that has earned fans and awards worldwide.
