In a proud moment for Indian craft spirits, Jin Jiji, a homegrown artisanal gin, has been crowned “Spirit of the Year” and Best Gin at the prestigious 2025 London Spirits Competition.
The competition, one of the toughest in the world, saw over 500 entries from more than 30 countries, including top global gin brands and heritage spirit makers. Amid such stiff competition, Jin Jiji’s victory marks a major milestone for India’s growing presence in the world of premium beverages.
Scoring a stellar 98 points and winning a Gold Medal, Jin Jiji stood out for its distinctive flavor profile, crafted using unique Indian botanicals like Himalayan juniper, tulsi (holy basil), and chamomile. The blend reflects India’s rich biodiversity and cultural heritage, giving it a flavor and aroma unlike any other.
“This recognition is not just a win for us—it’s a win for Indian craftsmanship,” said Ansh Khanna, founder of Peak Spirits, the company behind Jin Jiji. “India has always had the ingredients for world-class spirits—what we needed was belief and craft.”
Jin Jiji is already gaining international fame, having earned honors at other global competitions like the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC). It’s now available in countries like the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore—but it proudly remains rooted in India.
If you’re in Goa, you can pick up Jin Jiji for ₹1540 or ₹980, depending on the variant. In Karnataka, the price is ₹2791 or ₹2245.
With this latest win, Jin Jiji isn’t just putting Indian gin on the global map—it’s helping redefine what the world expects from modern gin.
