Gin, often characterised as the “old person’s” beverage, has reinvented itself as the tipple of choice among Indian consumers. Known for its premium quality, aromatic composition and softer flavour profile, Gin is considered to be the perfect accompaniment to brunches and refreshment occasions. On the occasion of World Gin Day, Beam Suntory is raising a toast to this popular drink by bringing its portfolio of two premium gins – it’s newest launch- the quintessential London Dry Gin – Sipsmith and its Japanese Craft Gin – Roku.
Sipsmith
Inspired by two hundred years of London distilling history, the creation of Sipsmith balances modern technology with traditional recipes and techniques. With the finest quality botanicals sourced from all over the globe, Sipsmith is crafted with a technique known as ‘one-shot’ distilling and is a perfect balance of 10 unique botanicals that make it smooth enough for a Martini, yet rich and balanced, perfect for a G&T. A quintessential expression of the London Dry Gin, every bottle of Sipsmith is handcrafted in genuinely small batches and every drop is lovingly laboured by hand, by dedicated distillers.
Roku
Crafted with subtle Japanese artisanship, Roku artfully balances six unique Japanese botanicals to create a perfectly balanced multi-layered gin. The unique blend includes Sakura Flower or Yae-sakura and Sakuna Leaf or Oshima-sakura, which add the floral hints, Sencha Tea and Gyokoru Tea, for the full-bodied aroma, Sansho pepper or Bu-do Sansho, for the spicy notes, and Yuzu Peel, for the sweet citrus fruitiness. Roku is a flavourful masterpiece crafted by Japanese artisans to artfully balance trademark Japanese aromas and flavours to create a perfectly balanced, multi-layered gin.
