Jin Jiji Darjeeling India Dry Gin, produced by Peak Spirits in India, impresses not only with its quality but also with its cultural depth. The name ‘Jiji’ (pronounced Jee-Jee) is derived from the Hindi word ‘Jijivisha’, which describes an irrepressible zest for life and joy in being. This philosophy is reflected in the meticulous production process and the exceptional selection of ingredients.

This handcrafted gin, produced in small batches, is characterised by one very special ingredient: the distinctive Darjeeling tea, which is renowned worldwide as India’s most famous tea. Only high-quality single-estate tea of the highest grade, FTGFOP1 (Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe 1), is used in production, lending the gin its outstanding elegance and sophistication.

The tea used for this bottling comes from the renowned Jungpana tea estate, which is known for its first-class cultivation and traditional processing methods. Alongside this first-class tea, carefully selected botanicals such as juniper, cardamom, cloves, ginger, coriander and fresh citrus peel ensure a balanced, multi-layered flavour profile.

Cashew nuts, angelica root and orris root round off the composition, lending the gin a smooth texture and a subtle floral note. This unique combination results in a gin that not only captures the essence of Indian tea culture but also delights with a harmonious balance of spices and freshness.
