I’d be lying to say I didn’t wait for these videos just to see what wacky sounds you can make every time you taste the gin for the first time! Your enthusiasm for Gin is infectious!
I'm Mexican but I'm not a Tequila guy. I love Whisky, bourbon and a newbie in the wolrd of Gin. I found this modest and amazing channel. Thank you very much for this content, this is exactly what I was looking for. I'm lovin Gin and I think it will be my favorite spirit
Meadowsweet is a white/cream coloured herb/wildflower/weed that grows in damp ground. It’s a type of wort. It smells lovely and it grows profusely in the area around Drumshanbo. Every roadside in the area has meadowsweet flowering in the summer months and you can smell it as you drive by.
😂😂😂. Smartly Dressed?!!! More “Lairily Dressed” more like. (Is that even a word 🤷♂️). Thanks for the shout out! You know I love your stuff. Flippin Hilarious and Educational. You’ll catch and overtake me soon! Keep it up. Although you need to feature some Cornish Gins...Trevethan (Honey Oak), Wrecking Coast (Clotted Cream) for starters. Your Tribe will love them! 😘 PS...just Subscribed too. Can’t believe I hadn’t subscribed. 🙈. I’ve watched most of the Vids! 😇
Thanks for the shoutout!! Glad you enjoyed the gin. It is epic isn’t it. When it was put in my hand neat at Dublin airport I immediately felt it was worth a buy. Great video as always.
This and Tanq 10 are my favorite gins. I was amazed at how pleasant this gin is and how much flavor is packed in. Yet, so balanced. They did a magnificent job here.
Bobby,you are spot on on this gin,I gave it a go just a few day's ago,and like you said WOW!,kicked like a mule,have a good New Year's eve,be safe,I will be having 20-30 friend's and family at my house tonight,food,booze,and tune's,cheers.
I'm a gin martini drinker and i just melted after trying it. Its absolutely my favorite gin so far. I Reccomend 'Blue Whale' from California and 'Rusted Revolver from New Jersey (my local distillery)
This is a really good gin but if you're in Ireland you need to taste Bertha's Revenge! It's probably the only gin made with fermented milk as a base. It has a super intense and special taste.
This is a gin for people who think they don't like gin. Tonic water overpowers the gin, so go easy. A bit of club soda and a squeeze of lime is all you need. It's refreshing on its own over ice. Even my wife likes it and she does not not normally like gin.
Wonderful review, your reaction was epic and this gin is now at the top of my wishlist! Great entertainment, hell great shirt! You should probably do some merchandise with that magnificent lumberjack shirt! Salute! Andy
2nd time watching this video, I wanted a refresh of my memory on this one, because I saw it on the shelves of my favorite liquor store, and I didn't buy it because I didn't remember your review, and it was a nice gift package with a couple of glasses, so I hope they still have it in stock!!
Hey man, great review! :) Just a quick question here - why don't you ever try the gins neat? Doesn't mixing it with tonic influence the overall taste a bit too much?
Hey Daniel Good question but adding fevertree, it’s actually releases the flavours so that you can taste them much more than when you drink it neat. Some master distillers, when tasting neat gin, actually add a tiny spot of water as it has the same effect. Try it’s and see what you think 👍👍
You get more flavor and less alcohol burn. Plus if you use the same gin all the time, it's a good baseline. Same with whiskey. If you're tasting for flavors, a little water brings out a lot of flavors usually hidden by the burn.
I don't know why but this gin helps me calm my stomach when I feel a bit nauseated... I drink this with ginger ale and this calms it down and it makes me happy. This tops on my favorite Gin list
Hey there! Not sure why but all of a sudden I became interested in gin, I've never drank any but something caught my attention and Ive been watching your videos lately. I wonder though, is the tonic water you use cold or is it room temperature?
Another great review, I will try the gun powder next. Quick question, you have the Whitley Neil Rhubarb and Ginger sitting on the counter, but did you ever do a review of it? (I’ve been looking but can’t seem to find the video)
I wanted to like this one so bad. I expected to love it. It has citrus it has freaking tea! It has an adorable jackalope on the bottle. It was supposed to become my new favorite, but for some reason i couldn't get into it and I don't know why because I love everything that is in it I've never been so sad I didn't like something 😞
I’m not even a gin fan, but this is one spectacular spirit. I would only drink it straight and at room temperature to avoid masking the subtle flavors, and I almost always take a splash of water. Delicious!
Got a bottle last weekend and had it on ice with a little tonic and lime...Good shit. I like the minty floral undertone. It actually tastes like it’s from the orient. I think this may be my new “go to” gin shot. Plus the bottle looks super cool. Thanks!
Hi Bobby! I am actually enjoying a glass of this, with Fevertree, obviously, watching your review again. It is a monumental experience to be sure, it is an extrovert yet complex and cultured gin with extraordinary flavours, with the green tea to the fore but its strongly aromatic, with flavours that linger a long time after you swallow it. I have taken the plunge and ordered my next bottle. What an experience it is! Cheers Andy
i am drinking it right now. I bought the bottle after seeing your video. i didnt enjoy the taste as much as the looks of the bottle. once in a while I get the bottle to see if I still not like it and yes indeed, it is not for me. xx
Funny you should mention Fr. Ted. Drumshanbo I was mentioned in an episode. Specifically the “Drumshanbo Massacre”. There also a Van Morrison song called after the town. “The Drumshanbo Shuffle”.
This is a lovely gin, it's so well balanced and drinkable, just add Ice and tonic it's beautiful. Just picked up two bottles as it was on special offer €25 for 70cl. The minimum unit price here in Ireland means a bottle of nasty Aldi gin Is only €4 cheaper, it is just ridiculous. I have also picked up a bottle of Method and Madness gin, have you tried that one? It's made here in Cork.
I got both of these for our family Xmas party a couple weeks ago. I find aviation a bit smoother and is a bit better for dry martinis but I love the rich complexity of gunpowder by itself and in mixed fruity cocktails for sure to add that powerful botanical flavor such as the Amy and Navy
I've been reluctant to try this gin since the name kind of turned me off (Afraid it might have had an essence of gunpowder!). Anyway, I can't wait to try it now! Thanks for a great video, Bobby, I like your style!
Thanks Genebigs! It is a bit misleading isn’t it? It’s certainly very unique and jam packed with flavours. It also looks great on the shelf! Let me know what you think 😊👍
Gunpowder, along with Monkey, and some other gins, are what I call, “Kitchen Sink Gins.” They throw everything and the kitchen sink in them as a selling point, but gin is spirit where less is more, although with Aviation, they’ve reduced it to just Vodka.
Hey guys! I Just bought a bottle of this, and I really dont know Which fever tree tonic is the best fit for this gin. Any suggestions? Mediterranian/indian/eldelflower ? I heard that juniper forward gins fit with fever tree indian tonic water, citrus forward gins fit with mediterranian. In this case, What Do you think?
@@nononsensegindrinking5152 Than for the quick response. You mean you tried the drumshanbo with several tonic? And Still the gold label? Not Any other? I Watched Lots of your videos, and you always drinks every gin with the gold label tonic :).
I just found two 350ml bottles at my hometown liquor store. I bought them both and now I can say without a doubt that this gin kicks beefeater and tanqueray in the dick! They are good no question but this one is king! Probably never would have tried it if I didnt see this video. Thanks
Hey Drunkin12many Awesome name! 😂 So glad that my videos helped you out. I haven’t had this one for a while so I might break one open tonight! Stay safe 😊👍

Thanks Ron! 😊😊
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
+1 on another excellent review, -1 on the accent 😀
😂yeah it’s definitely not my best accent. Needs a bit of work I think! 😂😂 🇮🇪
I just saw this in the store the other day and was wondering about it. Now it will be my next gin purchase. I love your enthusiasm, by the way.
Thanks Bob! 👍
It turned out to be a cool review!
Just yesterday I bought myself such a beautiful bottle!
Shalom from Israel 🙏

Sound like a great plan Eric! Happy New Year! 👍
I work at a transfer station in a US town and I see this bottle every once in a while. Love the bottle design, will try!
Love your enthusiasm and fun presentation! Keep it up Bobby!
Thanks Alsports! 😊😊
I'm a gin martini drinker and i just melted after trying it. Its absolutely my favorite gin so far. I Reccomend 'Blue Whale' from California and 'Rusted Revolver from New Jersey (my local distillery)
The 'Blue Whale' is outstanding. I haven't tried 'Rusted Revolver' yet, but on my list.

Tamas Gerecsei
That sounds absolutely amazing! I love the name! I’ll definitely try to track some down ! 👍👍
@@nononsensegindrinking5152 The name has a nice back story to it which is definitely a plus :D I'm curious to see your opinion!
Its definitely noticeable that over the year that less and less tonic goes in.
That’s right. I’ve become more and more hardcore! 😃
@@nononsensegindrinking5152 practically just a splash at this point
I’ve tried this. It’s really nice. Often had neat but like you I would prefer with tonic.
This is a gin for people who think they don't like gin. Tonic water overpowers the gin, so go easy. A bit of club soda and a squeeze of lime is all you need. It's refreshing on its own over ice. Even my wife likes it and she does not not normally like gin.
Thanks for you insight. I think I might revisit some of my favourites and explore the nest mixers. I’ll definitely try your recommendations 😊

Think I’d go for mermaid Ali 👍

My two favorite bottles visually are the Aviator Gin and the Renais gin, haven't tried either but The Aviator is my next buy.
Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is, hands down my favorite gin!!! I'll pick that over any other gin I have tasted!!!
I’m not even a gin fan, but this is one spectacular spirit. I would only drink it straight and at room temperature to avoid masking the subtle flavors, and I almost always take a splash of water. Delicious!
I enjoy this with some Dole 100% juice mix. Epic finish

My starter gin was bombay sapphire. Now ive got hendricks, tanqueray no 10, roku, beefeater, gunpowder and gibsons blood orange. Howd i do
How about trying Jawbox gin, it's fantastic with ginger ale. Love the channel..
Thanks Mike! I’ll definitely add this one to the list. 😊👍
I live in Grand Cayman and this is one one of my fav Gins!
Hey Tina!
That’s amazing that my videos are being watch in the Cayman Islands! 🇰🇾 very glad to have you on board! 😊😊
Cheeky little Irish cork sound! I fucking lost it. What a good time, man.
I love that gin. Absolutly one of my favorites
I love your Videos, you should have more followers. Please test the Libellis Gin, it sparkles and tastes great.
Friedhelm Reydt
So kind of you to say! I will add Libellis to my ever growing list! 👍
The 🇮🇪 accent suits you even better.

Drank 2 gunpowder and tonics tonight. Lovely floral notes it may be my favorite beside Aviation.
I got both of these for our family Xmas party a couple weeks ago. I find aviation a bit smoother and is a bit better for dry martinis but I love the rich complexity of gunpowder by itself and in mixed fruity cocktails for sure to add that powerful botanical flavor such as the Amy and Navy
haha :D so now i seen many reviews from you but i think this is the best reaction after drinking it. bam bam bam :D it must be a very good gin so far
😂Thanks Florian Wi!👍
@@nononsensegindrinking5152 always a pleasure. So you can highly recommend this one huh? 🤣🤣🤣
Florian Wi
Definitely! I love it. Really big flavours 👍
@@nononsensegindrinking5152 or the botanist? Yay new video I watch it after my night shift 😁

The Gunpowder name comes from Gunpowder Tea, Green tea rolled into little balls

Gunpowder gin has a higher apv than beefeater I think. Sounds good. I really want a beefeater 24.
funny...I go for Patrick in Sharpe's Rifles for.my.model...great character
I just bought a bottle yesterday pretty good
For some reason, all I get from it is huge smoky like lapsang souchong - I'm going to have to make some cocktails to finish the bottle
Think small companies should make small sampler bottles to try before you buy big bottle
Hey guys!
I Just bought a bottle of this, and I really dont know Which fever tree tonic is the best fit for this gin.
Any suggestions?
Mediterranian/indian/eldelflower ?
I heard that juniper forward gins fit with fever tree indian tonic water, citrus forward gins fit with mediterranian.
In this case, What Do you think?
Hey Bence,
I’ve tried a few combinations and nothing beats the fever tree gold label in my opinion. 👍
@@nononsensegindrinking5152
Than for the quick response.
You mean you tried the drumshanbo with several tonic? And Still the gold label? Not Any other?
I Watched Lots of your videos, and you always drinks every gin with the gold label tonic :).
I've indirectly tasted this gin because I bought some chocolate at an airport that had this brand of gin mixed in
What a nice surprise! What was it like in chocolate ?
@@nononsensegindrinking5152 tasted good, they put quite a lot of it in hahah
Your shirt would look better with patches
Have you tried Iron balls Gin
Jeremy Koek
Not yet but I’ll add it to the list! 😊
Have you tried Larios from spain
Not yet but I’ll add it to the list!
Only issue with this Gin is the £50 a litre price.
Watching this after picking this up at Asda for £10.75
Like what? In Lithuania it is 40€
#fire!
Why don't you ever drink it neat? Or maybe you have in videos I haven't seen yet?
jason schmidt
It’s a good point Jason and yes, I have started to drink neat gins in my newer videos 😊
I just found two 350ml bottles at my hometown liquor store. I bought them both and now I can say without a doubt that this gin kicks beefeater and tanqueray in the dick!
They are good no question but this one is king!
Probably never would have tried it if I didnt see this video. Thanks
Hey Drunkin12many
Awesome name! 😂
So glad that my videos helped you out. I haven’t had this one for a while so I might break one open tonight! Stay safe 😊👍
Actually that's a fairly good Irish accent lol
Thanks H20! 😊
I just farted so hard my back cracked
why dont u taste your gin neat!!???
Sorry, but this is one gin I did NOT like. The tea flavor was too strong to me and very disappointing as a gin.
pangzai comin foir thqat ass
All of your videos... I skip ahead to see the review... not the B.S. that bores me.
Have you seen the ceramic bottles? I want to do my review but can't get my shit together.
