Hapusa Himalayan Gin 700ml (IMPORTED)
A Spirit of the Himalayas: The World’s First Himalayan Dry Gin.
Embark on a journey to the top of the world with Hapusa Himalayan Gin, an extraordinary and multi-award-winning spirit imported directly from its home in India. Crafted for the discerning palate, this 700ml bottle contains a gin that is as unique as its origin, capturing the wild, untamed spirit of the Himalayan landscape.
Forged in the Mountains: The story of this gin begins near the snow line of the Himalayas, where its key botanical, wild juniper, is foraged. The name itself, “Hapusa,” is the Sanskrit word for juniper, signalling the profound importance of this single ingredient. Unlike many gins, Hapusa is a contemporary gin that tells a story of its terroir, a true taste of its majestic and rugged homeland.
A Celebration of Indian Botanicals: Produced by the pioneering Nao Spirits in Goa, India, Hapusa is a bold and earthy gin built around its unique Himalayan juniper. This provides a beautiful structure for a host of locally sourced Indian botanicals to shine, including:
- Turmeric & Raw Mango: Providing a tangy, earthy depth.
- Gondhoraj Lime: A fragrant local citrus that adds a vibrant zest.
- Ginger & Cardamom: Delivering a warm, aromatic spice.
- Coriander Seed & Almond: Completing the profile with classic spice and a smooth finish.
This is a gin that transports your taste buds, from the pine forests of the Himalayas to the lush spice farms of Goa.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: A powerful and immediate aroma of pine forest and fresh juniper, with bright, zesty lime notes.
- Palate: Bold, earthy, and exceptionally smooth. The piney juniper is at the forefront, masterfully balanced by a warming spice from the ginger and cardamom, with a unique savoury character from the turmeric.
- Finish: A long, complex, and satisfying finish with a lingering delicate smokiness and spice.
The Ultimate Sipping Gin: While Hapusa creates a truly memorable and robust Gin & Tonic (garnished with mint or a sliver of fresh ginger), its incredible smoothness and complexity make it one of the few gins in the world designed to be enjoyed neat, served straight from the freezer. This is a gin to be savoured by adventurers and connoisseurs alike.
