Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin Gift Pack
Don’t worry, there is no gunpowder in this gin. It actually refers to a type of tea, not an explosive! An oriental-inspired spirit from Ireland, Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is named after its signature botanical – slow-dried Gunpowder tea.
This gin, which was used in the winning Best Gin And Tonic In KL at the 2019 East Imperial Gin Jubilee, also has 12 botanicals sourced from all over the world, including meadowsweet, oriental grapefruit, lemon and kaffir lime.
On the nose, big and bright citrus, with a hint of tea, which comes out more on the palate with gorgeous green notes. The spices integrate well here, and the finish is long and complex. Versatile enough for most mixed drinks, but great in a G&T!

Porter’s Tropical Old Tom Gin & East Imperial Yuzu Tonic Gift Pack
If you like a sweeter style of gin but still like the taste of juniper, then Old Tom Gins are for you – not as dry as London Dry gins, but not as sugary sweet as sloe gin.
Porter’s Tropical Old Tom Gin is a great take on this classic style of gin. They took their Modern Classic gin and added distillates of passion fruit, guava and white tea.
Tropical notes on the nose and the palate, the juniper and earthy spices sit just under. Bright and fresh! The sweetness of the gin makes for a great long Gin and Tonic.

Komasa Gin Hojicha Tea
Japan has one of the most famous tea cultures in the world, and Kagoshima is one of Japan’s most famous tea-producing regions. So what happens when one of the region’s best shochu producers, Komasa Jyozo, decides to make a craft gin?
The result is Komasa Gin Hojicha Tea, a beautiful tea-infused gin made with juniper berries, shochu, Japanese cypress and roasted tea leaves from Kagoshima.
Roasting the leaves takes away the tea’s caffeine bitterness, leaving a wonderfully aromatic, warming and mellow flavour. Tip: Try this with some hot water for a unique twist on a ‘gin and tea’!
