Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin

Phenomenal in a Martini. Also excellent neat.

This is the Gin that got me drinking gin as a grown man. I had seen a few reviews on other sites and when I saw it at my local store I jumped at the chance to buy it. Now, this is one of the best gins on the market if you like a more citrus focused blend. You do start with a smooth juniper nose that moves to the citrus notes with a soft mellow finish. This makes a great Gin and Tonic and Gimlet with the citrus notes really showing up as you drink. It also makes an amazing Gin and Tonic with grapefruit instead of lime. I do not like grapefruit but with this gin, I do like it. In Martini's only Noilly Prat and Dolin work with it and you need to use a 3 or 4 to 1 ratio in the drink. My only real fault with the liquid is they do not offer a higher proof version but that is it I love everything else about this liquid. In closing my local store has it at half the price listed here so it is right in line with a ton of other wonderful gins. Enjoy!

Love the unique taste of this gin. Heavy juniper, cardamom, citrus, and anise. The tea seems to smooth it all out. Makes a great gin & tonic.
