Gunpowder Irish Gin announced the launch of Gunpowder Irish Gin with Italian Fig & Laurel. The vibrant flavour profile and striking bottle design add distinct Italian elegance to the Gunpowder Irish Gin range.

This unique Gunpowder release is a collaboration with two-time world champion mixologist and bartending extraordinaire Bruno Vanzan. Together, they weave a captivating harmony of innovation, tradition, and artistry to craft a gin that celebrates the DNA of Gunpowder Gin. The collaboration introduces two new botanicals – Italian Viola Fig and Tuscan Juniper – joining the original 12 botanicals sourced from nine exotic countries. The result is a gin that delivers exotic layers of fresh citrus, Oriental botanicals, and Gunpowder Tea, elevated by the refined richness of fig, laurel, and Tuscan juniper.

“We are delighted to continue our journey through Italy with the launch of Gunpowder Irish Gin with Italian Fig & Laurel,” said PJ Rigney. “Collaborating with Bruno Vanzan on this release was a true pleasure. As a 2-time mixology world champion from Italy, Bruno was uniquely qualified to craft a gin that is perfectly suited to cocktail experimentation.”

To commemorate the launch, a Signature Serve was created to highlight the unique character of Gunpowder Irish Gin with Italian Fig & Laurel. With the gin as its base, the Ciao Bruno is a refreshing cocktail, balanced with fresh lemon juice and a touch of simple syrup, topped with a splash of soda water for a light, effervescent finish. Garnished with lemon and fresh mint, this cocktail perfectly balances the fig’s sweetness and botanical depth. Look out for Bruno’s visit to the US in 2026, where you can enjoy a Ciao Bruno while saying Ciao to Bruno!
