Kunal: So, Jaisalmer, Susan, is one of the first authentic, I repeat, authentic Indian Craft gins made by Rampur Distillery. This is one of the first fully owned Indian alcoholic beverage companies in India. Technically, we have Pernod and Diageo in India, but this is a fully owned Indian distillery and one of the oldest, established in 1943, when there were hardly any industries in India. We produce close to 13 million liters of alcohol every month. We have a small population in India of 1.4 billion people, so we must support them! Pumori is named after Mount Pumori and is produced by Fullarton Distilleries in the woodlands of Candepar, Goa.

Susan: I’m sure. I’m sure. There’s no equivalent to a bartender in the engineering field. I don’t think. Yeah, you're absolutely right. India has been predominantly a Brown spirit market. Of that, whiskey would account for about 60 to 64% and gin was, or for that matter, even white spirits, were a very, very niche category, very small category in India. But then we've seen the change happening in the last couple of years because Indians love to travel. They love to keep abreast with what's happening all around the world. So with the ginaseur happening in Europe, the Indians also took up to gin very fast. And today it's a very well-accepted category of drink in the Indian beverage alcohol space.

Apart from that, we took licorice, caraway seeds, and of course, a beautiful juniper from Macedonia. The whole concept was that, as I told you in the beginning, to give India to the world. We tried to retain the soul flavor, juniper, but as well to give that spiciness, the refreshing floral tones of India, and hence this recipe of 11 botanicals was made as Jaisalmer. To a shaker add 2 ounces of Jaisalmer Gin – Gold Edition, 1/2 cup of fresh fig puree, 1/2 ounce simple syrup and 1/2 ounce lemon juice on ice and shake well.I want to relive that atmosphere in this unprecedented time. Whether it’s Chile, Peru, New York, Miami, I don’t care. It’s just to be in that place where a bunch of people do not have to wear any masks. We don’t need to socially distance ourselves from anybody. We can just have a normal chat ,conversation, soak in that atmosphere. Well, we've got ... everything's there, it's a huge campus that we have, as I said, we do a lot of alcohol production over there. So the key essential, if you look at the gin, the key elements of that are the neutral, extra neutral grain spirit and the botanicals that you do in the distillation. We already produced the triple distilled grains, a neutral spirit over there. So all that we needed to do was to add the gin pot still and go the distillation over there.

Theirs is a fascinating story to keep watching out for… Susan: Of course, it’s so ironic that the Gin and Tonic was invented in India. Yet, no one in India was drinking it, except for the British. No, we’re going to have our brown spirits…until now. Fevertree tonic is our recommendation. Apart from being a fine tonic, the name reflects the origin of tonic water and indeed of Gin and Tonic. The original tonic waters were made with quinine to help ward off malaria in colonial India. And, the addition of gin was the British way to help disguise the bitter taste of the medicine. British army officers in the early 19th century started adding water, sugar, lime and gin to make the quinine more palatable to drink – and so the classic gin and tonic was born. Today’s tonic water contains a lot less quinine and rather more sugar or sweetener, so it’s less bitter. While you’d have to drink litres of tonic to ward off malaria, it’s a much pleasanter experience and a better base for craft gins like Jaisalmer

In true traditional style, this gin is best taken simply with a good Indian tonic. This brings out more of the coriander and cubeb (which many people mistake for cumin) and gives the drink much more of a fragrant Indian spice taste. The orange and citrus zest makes this gin much fresher and brighter than you might expect, whilst still allowing you to identify the hidden flavours within.

Let that settle in for a second; A company that size, in a country with that many drinkers and only making their one and only gin, Jaisalmer, in less than a thousand units per batch.

Gin and the country of India are irrevocably tied together — British soldiers in the country received a gin ration, where gin and tonic was regularly consumed to ward off malaria — so it only makes sense that gin produced in India would become a thing.
