Introducing Gunpowder Irish Gin with a Unique Twist
Gunpowder Irish Gin has added a new expression to its already impressive collection: the Italian Fig & Laurel variant. This release showcases the creative vision of founder PJ Rigney, who sought to craft a gin that combines exotic botanicals with a unique Italian flair. The beautiful purple bottle symbolizes the elegance and sophistication that this new flavor brings.
A Collaboration with Mixology Excellence
The development of this new gin was a collaborative effort with renowned mixologist Bruno Vanzan, a two-time world champion. Their partnership signifies a blend of tradition and innovation, creating a spirit that captures the essence of Gunpowder Gin while introducing fresh elements. With the addition of Italian Viola Fig and Tuscan Juniper to the original twelve botanicals sourced globally, this expression stands out for its rich flavor and aromatic complexity.
Flavors That Delight
The meticulously crafted gin delivers layers of flavor, including vibrant citrus notes, exotic botanicals, and the distinct taste of Gunpowder Tea. The introduction of fig and laurel enhances its profile, offering a creamy richness and earthy depth, making it an ideal choice for both sipping and cocktail experimentation.
Signature Serve: Ciao Bruno
To celebrate this launch, a signature cocktail called Ciao Bruno has been crafted to perfectly highlight the gin's unique flavor. This refreshing drink blends Gunpowder Irish Gin with fresh lemon juice, a touch of simple syrup, and a splash of soda water, finished with a garnish of lemon and mint. The result is a light, effervescent cocktail that beautifully balances the sweetness of the fig with the gin's botanical essence.
