Full Product Description:

Cherrapunji Gin hails from one of the most extraordinary places on Earth—Cherrapunji in Meghalaya, India, where over 22,000 mm of rain falls annually. This is not just a location; it is the soul of this spirit.

Founder Mayukh Hazarika, an IIM Indore graduate who walked away from a career in Mumbai, returned to his roots with a vision: to create a gin that captures the essence of Northeast India. The result is a spirit like no other—distilled using harvested rainwater, refined with 12 handpicked native botanicals, and housed in a stunning, reusable stainless steel bottle.

💧 Distilled from Himalayan Rainwater

In a region where drinking water is ironically scarce despite extreme rainfall, Cherrapunji Gin collects rainwater for distillation. This preserves precious groundwater and pays tribute to the paradox of this unique landscape.

🌿 12 Native Himalayan Botanicals

Each ingredient tells a story of the wild Northeast:

• GI-tagged Khasi Mandarin: Handpicked by Khasi women before sunrise.

• Himalayan Juniper: The creamy, aromatic backbone.

• Kaji Lemon: Bright, vibrant citrus notes from Assam.

• Smoked Tea: "Second-flush" from the Lushai Hills.

• Smoked Cardamom: Forest-grown for warm complexity.

• Green Cardamom: Layers of aromatic spice.

• Mild Cinnamon: Gentle warmth.

• Wild Turmeric: Earthy depth.

• Plus 4 additional carefully selected native botanicals.

♻️ Sustainable Packaging

The bottle itself is exceptional—crafted from SS304 stainless steel, it is built to last over 12 years, weighs only 158g, and is fully recyclable. Hand-illustrated by Portland-based artist Reshidev RK, each bottle features Khasi women, Red Pandas, butterflies, and the natural splendor of Meghalaya.

TASTING NOTES

• Aroma: Citrus-forward with bright notes of Khasi mandarin and Kaji lemon. Himalayan juniper at the core, complemented by smoked cardamom for a warm, woody complexity.

• Palate: An explosion of citrus—fresh and lively. A base of creamy Himalayan juniper meets smoked and green cardamom, mild cinnamon, and smoked tea, creating a subtle, earthy depth.

• Finish: Long and balanced with citrus freshness, spicy warmth, and a lingering smoky-earthy echo that invites the next sip.
