Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin 75cl

Juniper up front, spice in the back, and a seriously drinkable balance in the middle, this is the gin you pour when “any gin is fine” just isn’t true anymore. Jaisalmer is an Indian craft gin with a dry, punchy backbone and a desert-spice vibe that turns simple serves into something you’ll actually talk about.

If your current routine is tonic + lime and done, this bottle is your easy upgrade. It’s still classic enough to feel familiar (hello, juniper), but it brings a warmer, more aromatic twist that makes it stand out in cocktails that usually flatten lesser gins.

• Nose: Bright piney juniper, citrus peel, and a warm waft of spice like cracked pepper and cardamom.
• Taste: Dry and juniper-forward first, then it opens into orange-citrus and savoury spice with a crisp, snappy texture.
• Finish: Long, clean, and gently spicy, the kind that keeps your next sip feeling inevitable.

How to drink it: Start with a G&T using a classic Indian tonic and a big citrus peel, then try it in a Negroni when you want that bitter-sweet balance to pop.

This is a smart pick for home bartenders because it doesn’t disappear once you add mixers. In a Gin Martini, it stays sharp and structured. In a Negroni, it holds its ground against vermouth and bitter liqueur. And if you’re building a bar with range, it’s a great counterpoint to ultra-floral styles like Hendrick’s or super-citrus modern gins.

It also happens to be an easy “bring to a friend’s place” bottle. The flavour profile feels adventurous without being weird, so everyone at the table gets it, even if they can’t name a single botanical.

From India, Jaisalmer leans into a desert-inspired personality, dry, aromatic, and unapologetically bold. It’s not here to be background noise in your drink. It’s here to be the point.

Fun Fact: Jaisalmer is named after the “Golden City” in Rajasthan, a real desert fortress town that’s basically begging to be turned into a G&T story.
