TERAI

Terai India Dry Gin is a contemporary gin rooted in London Dry Gin values but with an distinct Indian flavour profile and character. It is a eclectic gin which begins with vibrant green notes lifted by a citrus punch. This is followed by a specific floral bouquet and a sweet and piney juniper flavour. Sweet and herbaceous flavours are balanced on the palate by a dry spice and savoury finish. It is founded by the Swarup family who have an antiquity of agriculture and distillation in the eponymous region of Terai, and are sincerely preserving the sanctity of the land and its people. It is interesting to learn that terai is a belt of fertile marshlands running along the foothills of the Himalayas. This land is lush and fertile, watered by springs and rivers and this freshness echoes in the brand too.
