4. Hendrick’s Lunar Gin: Hendrick’s Lunar Gin is an intriguing combination of the refreshing, the warm and the floral and is designed to be shared and savoured of an evening as the sun goes down and the moon charges the sky. This most peculiar and unusual gin was conceived beneath the celestial light of the moon and yields an alluring complexity and a delightful warmth, which is best suited to refreshing sundowners, night-sipping, moon gazing and other sensible modes of contemplation. A small batch, limited release gin conjured up from the oddities in Ms Lesley Gracie’s Cabinet of Curiosities at the Hendrick’s Gin Palace in Girvan, Scotland.

5. Hendrick’s Gin: The curious, yet marvelous, infusions of rose & cucumber imbue our spirit with its uniquely balanced flavor resulting in an impeccably smooth distinct gin. It is created via an absurdly inefficient, yet quite glorious process. In essence, to make one gin, we first create two. One on an old-fashioned pot still, yielding a rich and intricate spirit. The other, on a long-necked Carter Head, producing a delicate, more refined spirit. Each still is infused with an unusual symphony of 11 botanicals: chamomile, elderflower, juniper, lemon peel, orange peel, caraway, coriander, cubeb berries, angelica root, yarrow root and orris root. The gins from the two stills are then married together and graced with curious yet marvelous infusions of Rose and Cucumber. Hendrick’s Gin is priced at INR 5,000 in Mumbai and INR 3,955 in Delhi.

6. The Balvenie: Dedicated to the five rare crafts that are used to create its distinctive taste, each expression of The Balvenie has a very individual taste that is rich, luxuriously smooth and underpinned by its distinctively honeyed character. The Balvenie is the most handcrafted single malts, created in a distillery that still grows its own barley, uses traditional floor maltings and keeps both coppersmiths and coopers on site. The Balvenie boasts uniqueness, individuality and is perfect for luxury gifting. The Balvenie 12YO variant is available across the country and is priced at INR 8,840, INR 5,000 in Mumbai and Gurgaon respectively for 700ml.
