DRUMSHANBO - Ceramic Bottle Panda Conservation Edition - Gunpowder Irish Gin - 43%
The Shed Distillery is located on the edge of a lake in Drumshanbo , Ireland . PJ and Denise Rigney, along with their dedicated team of distillers, experiment with wild grains, Irish flora, and exotic botanicals. The Shed's has five copper stills: three focused on Irish whiskey, two on Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin, and two copper column stills focused on Sausage Tree Pure Irish Vodka. The stills were specially crafted by Arnold Holstein in Germany and brought to Drumshanbo.
The Gunpowder Gin making process begins with a slow distillation with 8 botanicals added to the copper still: juniper berries, meadowsweet, cardamom, coriander seeds, angelica root, orris root, caraway seeds, and star anise. Then, 4 more botanicals are added to the steamer basket: gunpowder tea, Chinese lemon, oriental grapefruit, and kaffir lime.
The creature on the label is the mythological offspring of a hare and an American antelope. According to legend, it was conceived in a thunderstorm.
This charity edition supports the Sichuan Green Foundation, with a portion of the profits going to the protection of China's giant pandas.
