JIN JIJI India Dry Gin 70cl

Description

JIN JIJI India Dry Gin

JIN JIJI comes from the birthplace of the Gin & Tonic, and from the country that is home to some of the world's most diverse botanicals - India. Derived from the Hindi word Jijivisha, used to descibe 'a lust for life', JIN JIJI captures some of the unique flavours of the country.

Hand-crafted in small batches in their distillery in Goa, they use Darjeeling tea and wild Himalayan Juniper alongside local botanicals to capture the heart and soul of India. These botanicals have been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, so think of JIN JIJI as a glass of meditation and mindfulness. 

JIN JIJI India Dry Gin contains an impressive list of botanicals, including coriander seeds, angelica root, Tulsi (holy basil), cashew nuts and chamomile, each adding flavour and their own character to the gin. On the nose there are soft tones of juniper, sweet spices and zesty citrus. On the palate it is noticeably soft, with a structured mouthfeel that allow the delicate botanicals such as chamomile and mint to come through the spice.

Did you know? The Gin & Tonic was discovered in India. British soldiers would drink tonic water to treat malaria as the quinine found in tonic has medicinal properties. Back then the concentration was higher and so to make it taste more palatable, botanicals such as citrus and herbs were added and the G&T was born.
