Picture a gin that isn't just juniper shouting at you. First sip is all bright grapefruit, then a soft green-tea hum sneaks in, then warm spice waves goodbye on a long, peppery finish. It's the bottle that makes a lazy G&T feel like you tried. Pour one, drop in a fat wedge of grapefruit, and suddenly Tuesday is an event. We'll have it at your door fast, any hour.
Crystal clear in the glass, with a nose that's fresh and herby: zesty citrus up front, a curl of green tea, a little anise lurking behind. On the tongue grapefruit leads, then the juniper kicks in bright and piney, then that gunpowder tea gives it an earthy, almost jasmine depth you don't usually get in gin. It finishes warm and gently peppery, with whispers of cardamom, coriander and a honeyed meadowsweet softness. Complex but never heavy. Smart, not stuck-up.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes out of The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, a tiny village in Co. Leitrim, Ireland. It was the first new distillery in rural Connacht in over a hundred years, and founder PJ Rigney basically trekked across continents gathering botanicals before bringing them home. The clever bit: he fused oriental ingredients, including that Chinese gunpowder green tea (rolled into little pellets that look like gunpowder, hence the name), with classic Irish gin-making. Slow-distilled by hand in copper pot stills. Released in 2016 and it's been turning heads ever since.
