Jin Jiji India Dry Gin Small Batch
Jin Jiji4.7(100 reviews)
Jin Jiji India Dry Gin Small Batch is an exceptional and highly celebrated Indian craft dry gin distilled in small batches in Goa, India, by Peak Spirits. It is the first craft gin in the world to be distilled with wild, native Himalayan juniper berries hand-picked from high-altitude slopes. Distilled in traditional copper pot stills, the botanical extracts are masterfully blended with native Indian botanicals, including Tulsi (holy basil) for warm herbal complexity, chamomile, black tea, coriander, cardamom, and premium Goan cashew nuts. The cashew nuts undergo a special maceration process, imparting a velvety, creamy mouthfeel that beautifully rounds out the piney and citrusy notes, presenting an extraordinarily smooth and clean gin experience.

Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Gomti Nagar and picked up Jin Jiji India Dry Gin Small Batch. At ₹2,190 in Lucknow, this represents incredible value. The notes of Piney Himalayan Juniper and Sweet Herbal Tulsi Basil pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Galouti Kebab. Highly recommended!”
