The Whiskey
Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is made from malted and unmalted Irish barley as well as Irish Barra oats and is triple distilled. Afterwards it is matured in Sherry Oloroso and Kentucky Bourbon barrels.
The Gin
The Shed Distillery is best known for its flagship product, the Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin.
This Gin is made with 12 different Irish and Oriental botanicals, including Chinese lime and Chinese gunpowder tea. The Gin is distilled in small batches and by hand in traditional copper stills. The slow-distilled process used in the process gives the Gunpowder Gin its mild flavour.
In addition to the classic Gin, the distillery also produces the Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin Sardinian Citrus Edition. Here, the rare Sardinian citrus fruit 'Sa pompia' gives the Gin its fruity-fresh aroma.
The History
The distillery was founded in 2014 by PJ Rigney and his wife Denise. Thus, the distilling tradition of the Irish province of Connacht was finally resumed after 101 years.
