Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is a premium spirit produced at The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, Ireland. It was created by PJ Rigney, an entrepreneur with extensive experience in the spirits industry, who founded the distillery in 2014. The gin is characterized by its unique use of slow-dried gunpowder tea along with other botanicals like oriental lime and meadowsweet, reflecting a fusion of Irish craft and oriental traditions.

The brand is celebrated for its hand-crafted approach, using traditional copper pot stills for distillation. Since its debut, it has grown from a local Irish craft gin to an internationally recognized label available in dozens of countries worldwide. The Shed Distillery remains the heart of production, where the entire process from distillation to bottling occurs.

The ultimate ownership of the brand lies with PJ Rigney and his family through their company, PJ Rigney International. Unlike many famous spirit brands that have been acquired by global conglomerates, Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin maintains its independence, allowing the founders to retain creative control over the product's quality and global brand strategy.
