Cherrapunji Gin comes from India’s rainiest region, distilled with twelve native botanicals sourced across the northeast. GI-tagged Khasi mandarin and Kaji lemon from Assam supply the citrus core, while pine-smoked tea from the Lushai hills and wild peppercorns from Sikkim and Meghalaya give it a smoky, spiced backbone alongside black, green, and smoked cardamom. Bottled at 42.8% ABV on a Himalayan juniper base, it suits drinkers looking for an Indian gin with a distinct sense of terroir rather than a classic London Dry profile.
