The key to making a great gin is sourcing good botanicals. Gin manufacturers the world over, look to India for botanicals and to explore its provenance for their brand and identity, but most are made nowhere near it. And it makes sense, for centuries India was the nexus of international trade with its most sought-after exports being botanicals.

Stranger & Sons knew it was time to create a truly Indian gin for local and global audiences. They chose inherently Indian botanicals that they believe represent India’s diversity. Located in the Western Ghats, Goa offers access to a bounty of spices along the Konkan and Malabar coasts and holds 3000 years as a key player in India’s spice trade. Juniper berries, coriander seeds, black pepper (once called ‘black gold’) nutmeg, mace, angelica root, cassia bark, liquorice, Nagpur oranges, Gondhoraj lemons (known as the ‘King of Fragrances’), Mosambi (AKA Indian Bergamont,) and Nimbu citrus sourced from the local garden behind the distillery all go into making these wonderful spirits.
