For the extrovert drinker

A stranger is a stranger until you clink glasses with them. The botanicals include home-grown pepper, lemon and coriander, as well as a mix of Indian citrus peels like gondhoraj limes from Kolkata. A versatile gin for cocktails, Stranger and Sons is a good place to start your gin journey.

For the refined palate

Tamras, a neutral grain spirit, is distilled from the finest Punjab rice, and has 16 botanicals from India and around the world, including lotus flower foraged in north Goa with citrusy elements sourced from mosambis.

For the adrenaline junkie

One of our favourites, No Sleep gin by Greater Than is a coffee-infused gin steeped in Sleepy Owl coffee that will keep you up all night. Trust us, gin won’t be the same again on tasting this.

For the experimental drinker

Combining strong Indian and Japanese flavours, Doja is a yuzu-forward gin. You’ll taste peppermint from the Northeast, cardamom from south India, and a far eastern influence — thanks to hinoki chips — yuzu lemon and sansho pepper from Hokkaido.

For the seasonal drinker

Japanese gin Roku uses six botanicals including Sakura flower, Sakura leaf, yuzu peel, sencha tea (green tea), gyokuro tea (refined green tea) and Sansho pepper. Each botanical has been harvested at the peak of its season.

For the bespoke drinker

The City of Pink is distilled with their signature 11 botanicals and further infused with fresh floral extracts and summer berries. This edition is best enjoyed on the rocks in a gin and tonic, or when topped with sparkling wine.
