Tasting Notes & Botanicals
This gin is handcrafted at The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, Ireland, using medieval copper pot stills.
- Botanicals: The recipe includes traditional juniper berries, angelica root, and cardamom, which are complemented by exotic elements like Chinese gunpowder green tea (which gives the gin its name from its rolled, pellet-like appearance), star anise, lemon, grapefruit, and orange.
- Nose: The aroma is fresh and dry, with dominant notes of citrus (lime and grapefruit), juniper, and the distinct presence of gunpowder tea.
- Taste: It is described as smooth, with a balance of fresh citrus and earthy, spicy notes from the botanicals and tea. Reviewers note a bold, bright taste with hints of pepper, cinnamon, and licorice.
- Finish: The finish is long, dry, and spicy, balanced by the fruit and tea notes.
