Gunpowder Irish Gin Expands with Italian Fig & Laurel

Gunpowder Irish Gin, known for its unique flavor and commitment to quality, is thrilled to announce its latest release: Gunpowder Irish Gin with Italian Fig & Laurel. This new expression brings an exciting and sophisticated twist to their portfolio, showcasing a perfect blend of traditional Irish gin-making and contemporary flair.

Crafted under the expert guidance of PJ Rigney, the founder of The Shed Distillery, this collaboration with celebrated mixologist Bruno Vanzan introduces two new botanicals: Italian Viola Fig and Tuscan Juniper. These unique additions complement the original twelve botanicals sourced from nine exotic countries, resulting in a complex floral and herbal character that's both refreshing and invigorating. Expect to experience layers of citrus, Kumquat, oriental spices, and the signature Gunpowder Tea flavor profile, beautifully enhanced by the richness of fig and the aromatic qualities of laurel.

PJ Rigney expressed his enthusiasm for this launch, stating, "We are delighted to continue our journey through Italy with the introduction of this new expression. Collaborating with Bruno Vanzan, a true mixology innovator, allowed us to create a gin that stands out for its versatility, perfect for cocktails."

A Unique Serving Experience

To celebrate the launch, Rigney and Vanzan have devised a signature cocktail known as the Ciao Bruno. This effervescent drink showcases Gunpowder Irish Gin with Italian Fig & Laurel as its base. The recipe features fresh lemon juice, a hint of simple syrup, and a splash of soda water, garnished with a slice of lemon and fresh mint. The resulting cocktail is a refreshing experience that balances the natural sweetness of fig with the botanical depth of its premium ingredients. This cocktail perfectly encapsulates the adventurous spirit of Gunpowder Gin, ideal for social gatherings or personal enjoyment.

A Remarkable Addition to a Growing Portfolio

The introduction of Italian Fig & Laurel builds on an already impressive lineup of Gin expressions from Gunpowder Irish Gin. The flagship expression is characterized by its bold blue bottle and is crafted using slow distillation methods in medieval-style copper pot stills. This technique allows for the preservation of vibrant flavors and aromatic notes. The range has already made strides in the market, including previous inspired releases, such as the California Orange Citrus Edition and the Sardinian Citrus Edition, both of which highlight the brand's commitment to creating unique and experimental gins that celebrate various regions and experiences.

Availability and Pricing

Gunpowder Irish Gin with Italian Fig & Laurel is now available nationwide, retailing for $37.99. Additionally, it will be exclusively available at Publix locations in Florida and Kentucky.
