Social Pictures: The global launch of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin with California Orange Citrus

The drinks industry was out in force for the global unveiling of the latest creation from Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin at Nolita Dublin.

A host of well-known faces and special guests from the top bars and venues across the country turned out for the celebrations hosted by The Shed Distillery and Dalcassian Wines and Spirits.

When was it?

Wednesday 28 September

Where was it?

Nolita, 64 South Great George’s Street, Dublin

Why were we there?

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin with California Orange Citrus is the result of the Curious Mind’s Journey through California and features exotic layers of fresh citrus, oriental botanicals and gunpowder tea with added subtle hints of California Orange citrus.

This latest creation didn’t fail to surprise and delight and guests were thrilled to meet the world-famous mixology stars and Tik Tok sensations, Johnny Drinks, who flew in especially from New York for the occasion.

Who was there?

PJ Rigney — the Curious Mind behind Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin and The Shed Distillery brands — made a rare appearance with wife Denise (co-founder and owner of the family business) and daughters Roisin and Maeve, and their son Brian.

Comedian Tony Cantwell, social media star Nadia Adan, Newstalk presenters Jess Kelly and Andrea Gilligan, and Youtube stars Sean Connelly and Colin Regan from the Try Channel were among the VIP guests in attendance on the night.

The bar and restaurant industry was well-represented with attendees including Roly’s Bar and Bistro owner Adi Manish Dooley, Paul Williams General Manager of 37 Dawson St., Imelda Scally of Fire Restaurant, and Richard McDermott from the Odeon Group, as well as Marketing Manager Dalcassian Wines & Spirits, Aoife Hayes.
