Drumshanbo Sardinian Citrus Gunpowder Irish Gin (700ml)

Besides switching lemon with Citrus monstruosa - a pulpy, bitter fruit native to Sardinia - the botanical bill here remains similar to Drumshanbo's 'Original'. Woody juniper and citrus peel vie for attention on the nose while background liquorice root enters late. The palate feels more intense than its modest ABV: Sedate on entry, but big on grapefruit tang and white pepper, especially through the finish; late oils and piney juniper carry the aftertaste. Bright and spicy, this will suit vibrant G&Ts and add zest to Summery cocktails. 43% Alc./Vol.
