Get ready to mark your calendars because the ultimate celebration for gin lovers is approaching! World Gin Day is just around the corner on June 8, 2024. Whether you're a newcomer to the delightful world of gin or a seasoned connoisseur who swears by the timeless gin and tonic, this gin guide is tailored just for you. Let's deep dive into the fascinating history of gin, from its origins in the Middle Ages to its rise as a popular spirit with medicinal properties in the 17th century.
Did you know that gin made its way to India during the British colonial era and gained a loyal following among British officers stationed there? Fast forward to the present day, and we can't get enough of inventive gin-based craft cocktails and the classic gin and tonic combo. There are more reasons than one. " Gin stands out due to its botanical complexity and versatility," explains Sanchit Agarwal, Co-Founder, Nisaki Gin.
"Unlike other spirits, gin's distinct flavour profile comes from the careful balance of juniper berries and a diverse array of botanicals, which can include anything from citrus peels to exotic spices. This allows for an incredible range of flavours, making each gin unique." Gin is one of the few alcoholic drinks that are a favourite among both casual drinkers and connoisseurs.
"As more consumers develop a taste for gin and appreciate its versatility, the spirit is poised to become an integral part of India's vibrant drinking culture for years to come," says Komal Agarwal, Tall.
