Jodhpur Mandore Gin 70cl

Crisp juniper, lively citrus, and a hint of Indian spice, this is the kind of gin that makes your usual G&T feel like a glow-up.

• Nose: Fresh juniper and lemon zest first, then soft floral notes and a gentle peppery spice that feels warm, not heavy.
• Taste: Classic dry gin structure with bright citrus, coriander-like snap, and a subtle earthy, aromatic twist that keeps each sip interesting.
• Finish: Clean and dry, with lingering citrus peel, light spice, and a quiet botanical perfume that hangs around just long enough.

This one’s built for mixing. Juniper stays loud enough to stand up in cocktails, while the citrus and spice give you extra dimension, so your Gin & Tonic, Martini, or Negroni doesn’t taste one-note. It’s also a great “gateway” bottle for anyone who thinks all gin tastes the same, because it keeps the familiar London Dry backbone but adds a distinctly Indian accent.

What you’ll notice most is the balance. It’s dry, sure, but not austere. The citrus pops without turning candy-like, and the spice reads as aromatic, like cracking fresh pepper over food, rather than heat. That makes it an easy pick when you want something refreshing, but still complex enough to nerd out over.

If you like your gin with personality, this is a strong move. It’s not trying to be weird for the sake of it, it’s just confidently different, with flavours that feel sunny, herbal, and a little exotic in the best way.

Fun Fact: “Jodhpur” is named after the Blue City in Rajasthan, and the brand leans into that region’s botanical heritage to give the gin its warm, spice-tinged character.
