Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin with Black Fig and Laurel Leaf is an artisanal craft spirit produced by The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, Ireland. Distilled in traditional medieval copper pot stills, this expression combines slow pot distillation of core botanicals with vapor infusion. The recipe builds on the signature oriental botanicals of Gunpowder Irish Gin (including gunpowder tea, meadowsweet, coriander, and citrus) with an infusion of dark, sweet black figs and savory Mediterranean laurel leaf (bay leaf). The result is a complex, mysterious profile balancing jammy stone fruit sweetness, green herbal earthiness, and crisp piney juniper.
Food Pairing: Charcuterie boards, prosciutto wrapped figs, goat cheese crostini, roasted pork tenderloin, blue cheese, and dark chocolate desserts.
Tasting Notes: Crystal clear in appearance with a rich, smooth, and velvety mouthfeel.
Nose: Intensely aromatic up front, opening with ripe black fig, aromatic bay leaf, and bright citrus zest, backed by crisp resinous juniper and earthy gunpowder tea.
Palate: Full-bodied and multi-layered on the palate, featuring sweet dark fruit and jammy fig, balancing into savory laurel leaf, spicy coriander, pine needle, and delicate herbal tea tannins.
Finish: Long, warm, and complex with lingering notes of dark stone fruit, fragrant bay leaf, and a crisp, peppery botanical closure.
Serve: Serve over ice topped with premium Indian or Mediterranean tonic water, garnished with a wedge of fresh fig or a fresh laurel leaf, or build into a fig Negroni, Martinez, or Southside.
