Drumshanbo Brazilian Pineapple Gunpowder Gin (75cl, 43%)

A tropical Irish gin distilled at 43% ABV, infusing sun-ripened Brazilian pineapple into Drumshanbo's gunpowder green tea botanical base. It is distilled at The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, using copper pot stills, with botanicals including gunpowder green tea from China, makrut lime leaves and oriental grapefruit; the Brazilian pineapple is vapor-infused alongside the existing botanicals. The aroma leads with fresh pineapple, then zesty lime, soft juniper and a floral tea note, with gentle sweetness. The palate is herbal at first, with tea leaves and matcha, then pulpy Brazilian pineapple, dried grapefruit, lime zest, candied citrus peel and green tea bitterness, with juniper in a supporting role. The finish is clean and smooth, with lingering pineapple sweetness balanced by white pepper, pine resin and cardamom pods.
