This Father’s Day, gift something that blends elegance, tradition, and the finest flavors of India — Amrut Nilgiris Gin, a premium spirit distilled in the heart of the Nilgiri Mountains, 7,000 feet above sea level. For dads who have a taste for refined experiences, this gin makes a standout gifting option.

Crafted by Amrut Distilleries, the Nilgiris Gin is a celebration of the majestic Western Ghats. It features nine carefully selected botanicals, including juniper berries, coriander, Indian tea, raw mango, and lemongrass, which come together in traditional copper pot stills to create a spirit that is both complex and refreshing.

The gin begins with vibrant citrusy juniper on the nose, gently evolving into layers of zesty lemon and fresh coriander, and finishing with hints of raw mango, mint, eucalyptus, and subtle notes of tea and paan. Its clean and crisp finish leaves a refreshing sensation that lingers.

With its smooth profile and luxurious packaging, Amrut Nilgiris Gin is more than just a drink — it’s a tribute to Indian craftsmanship and the perfect toast to the father figures who mean the most.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: Citrus-forward with bold juniper, subtle spice, tea, and floral hints of paan

  • Palate: Smooth and layered with lemon, coriander, raw mango, pepper, mint, eucalyptus, and tea

  • Finish: Clean, crisp, long, and dry — deeply refreshing

Key Ingredients:

Juniper berries, Coriander, Lemongrass, Angelica, Orris Root, Cinnamon, Mace, Nutmeg, and Indian Tea

Whether enjoyed neat, with tonic, or in a creative cocktail, this gin offers a one-of-a-kind experience that reflects depth, heritage, and modern finesse — just like the dads we celebrate.
