Creator of new recipes, inventor, experimenter - PJ Rigney dreamed of building his own distillery, but not just any distillery. The location was crucial: it had to be wild, unmaintained, in the heart of rural Ireland. A place of curiosity and inspiration, surrounded by nature, immersed in a rich history. He discovered the beautiful village of Drumshanbo, on the shores of Lough Allen, at the foot of Sliabh an Iarainn (Iron Mountain), and PJ knew he had found the location of his distillery. The distillery started distilling in 2014, creating the excellent Drumshanbo Gunpowder gin.
