Malhar Citrus is an Indian craft gin from John Distilleries, the makers of Paul John Whisky, built on eleven botanicals including fresh key lime, lemon peel, orange peel, grapefruit, and lavender. It leans hard into citrus, opening with bright key lime, orange, and lemon peel before a sweet, zesty spice carries through, and juniper, hibiscus, and angelica round out a woody finish. It suits someone after an Indian craft gin with an unmistakably citrus-forward character, rather than a straight juniper-led profile. Bottled at 43% ABV.
