From Nao Spirits comes Hapusa Gin, a Himalayan gin produced in India using local juniper, turmeric, mango, ginger, cardamom, coriander seeds, gondhoraj limes and almonds. All botanicals are added in a one-shot method to the still, named Agatha. The spirit is a true celebration of Indian ingredients, which would usually be found in every kitchen cupboard, and have now been given a new lease of life in Hapusa Gin!
Vibrant lime up front, with bright pine notes backing it up.
Ginger, a tangy hint of mango to pair with the citrus, coriander and juniper giving it some heat.
Spicy florals last, with a final touch of cardamom.
Superb. One of the best gins I have tasted. The gondhoraj, a staple in Bengali cuisine especially stands out.
