jin jiji
We set out on an expedition around India to source for a gin that truly depicts the rich and diverse botanicals found in this magical country. The heart and soul of our “India Dry Gin” is wild Juniper, foraged in the extremity of the Himalayas. We couldn’t resist adding Tulsi, a fragrant leaf used in Indian Ayurveda and often regarded by Hindus as the earthly manifestation of goddess Tulsi. We distill our botanicals in a little distillery in Goa, throwing into the pot some of the highest grade, locally grown cashew nut – thriving here since being introduced by Portuguese rulers in the seventeenth century.

JIN JIJI HIGH PROOF DRY GIN 57.0% ABV
Jin JiJi High Proof is inspired by the Royal British Navy who during Colonial times first set a high proof requirement for gin being transported to India. As space is scarce on ships, the Navy preferred alcohol at higher strength as they could get more in a smaller space. A strength of 57% ensures that gunpowder isn’t contaminated in case of a spill.
