New Indian Gin 'Vanaha' Inspired by the Forest Launches
Imagine someone went for a walk in the forest and got an idea for a drink!
That's how Vanaha gin was born.
The person, Vaniitha Jaiin, wanted to bottle the feeling of being in nature.
She used lots of plants and spices from all over India to make it.
It's made in Goa, using a special process like how perfume is made.
The gin tastes like the forest, with hints of flowers and citrus.
It doesn't have a lot of sugar.
The creators believe people want more than just a drink; they want a story.
So, this gin hopes to give you the taste of the forest in a bottle!
Vanaha, a new artisanal gin, was created by Vaniitha Jaiin, inspired by a walk in the forest.
The gin uses 24 botanicals sourced from across India, including Himalayan juniper and Assam lemon.
It's crafted at Revelry Distillery in Goa and undergoes a five-step distillation process.
Vanaha is described as earthy and resinous, with floral and citrus notes and no added sugar.
