JIN JIJI STRIKES GOLD: AWARD-WINNING INDIAN GIN CAPTURES GLOBAL SPOTLIGHT

The global spirits stage has once again been captivated by the rise of India’s premium gin scene — and leading the charge is Jin Jiji India Dry Gin, proudly taking home a Gold Medal and an extraordinary 98 Points at the prestigious London Spirits Competition 2025. Not only did it score among the highest marks of the year, it was also named Spirit of the Year – India, cementing its place as a must-have gin for collectors, enthusiasts, and curious connoisseurs alike.

Joining the celebration is Jin Jiji Darjeeling, which also impressed the judges, securing a Silver Medal with 92 Points, thanks to its distinctive botanical complexity and nod to India’s iconic tea-growing region.

A Taste of India, Distilled

Jin Jiji is the result of a passionate collaboration under Himmaleh Spirits, an independent Indian spirits house that has beautifully married tradition with modern craft. Taking its name from “Jiji,” a colloquial Indian term of respect for women — and “Jin” for gin — the brand celebrates both India’s heritage and the ever-evolving art of distillation.

Each bottle of Jin Jiji India Dry Gin showcases a careful selection of botanicals sourced directly from across the Indian subcontinent. The signature India Dry delivers a bold juniper backbone complemented by aromatic citrus peels, black pepper, angelica root, and lemongrass, while maintaining a crisp, herbaceous character with earthy undertones. The finish is clean and dry, with a gentle lingering heat, reflective of its sun-soaked origins.

Meanwhile, the Darjeeling expression incorporates the subtle elegance of Darjeeling tea leaves, creating a nuanced, floral profile that’s both delicate and complex — a unique sip that’s unlike anything else in the gin world.

Why This Win Matters

The London Spirits Competition is one of the most influential judging panels globally, focusing not just on technical excellence but also on quality, value, and packaging appeal — the real-world factors that matter to consumers. To score 98 points is an exceptional feat, placing Jin Jiji among the finest spirits on the market. For a relatively young brand from India, this marks a serious milestone.
