Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin with Brazilian Pineapple Review
This Irish distillery has a slew of gins ranging from the more staid to the completely bizarre — four of which were submitted for this tasting — but this was the one we couldn’t quite take our mind off of. Featuring Brazilian pineapple, Chinese gunpowder tea, and other botanicals, it is indeed offbeat and a little weird but, remarkably, doesn’t ever hit you over the head with too much “flavoring.” In fact, the title pineapple note comes in late, subtly adding just a hint of tart sweetness on the finish. This definitely would be fun in a more baroque, Spanish-style Gin-Tonic.
