Radico Khaitan has released Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin in the UK, which aims to celebrate the origin of the gin and tonic in British Colonial India.
Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin is triple-distilled and crafted in a copper pot still in small batches at the Rampur Distillery, one of India’s oldest distilleries, located in the foothills of the Himalayas.
The 43% ABV (alcohol by volume) drink utilises Indian botanical ingredients such as coriander and vetiver, orange peel, cubeb pepper berries, lemongrass, darjeeling green tea leaves and lemon peel, as well as other botanicals such as angelica root, liquorice and caraway seeds, and of course juniper berries.
As well as celebrating the origin of the gin and tonic, Radico Khaitan claims that the drink aims to encapsulate the rich heritage and history of the Indian city of Jaisalmer, known colloquially as “Golden City of India.”
