After receiving acclaim at the recent Bengaluru edition, Radico Khaitan is poised to establish an exclusive bar, featuring a curated selection of signature cocktails crafted with Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin at the upcoming event.

Since its debut in Delhi in 2017, The Gin Explorer Club has evolved into India's largest Gin Festival, guided by the philosophy of ‘Making India fall in love with Gin’. This event offers an immersive experience by bringing together various gin brands, eateries, music, and more, all within a single venue.

Commenting on the dynamic shifts in consumer preferences and the changing landscape of the gin market, Amar Sinha, Chief Operating Officer of Radico Khaitan Limited, expressed, “At Radico, we consistently strive to remain at the forefront of evolving trends, driven by our commitment to delivering unparalleled experiences to our consumers. The inclusion of Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin in our portfolio exemplifies our responsiveness to the dynamic preferences of connoisseurs in the realm of spirits.”

“The ever-evolving wave of consumerisation has given rise to experiential events, such as The Gin Explorers Club. Participating in this festival is not only an opportunity to showcase our offerings to the right audience but also a chance to understand their evolving tastes” he added.

Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin has achieved a remarkable feat by securing a coveted position in the prestigious Top 100 Premium Wine and Spirits Brands of the World 2023, as recognised by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards. Since its launch, this luxury gin from the house of Radico Khaitan has consistently garnered various accolades, solidifying its position as a distinguished player in the industry.

Radico Khaitan Limited’s Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin is named after the city of Jaisalmer, which is primarily known for the Jaisalmer Fort. The premium taste of Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin comes from the ancient Indian knowledge of herbs. Seven of the 11 botanicals used in the distillation have been sourced from all four corners of India. Sweet orange peel from Central India, Cubeb Berries and Lemon Grass from Southern India, Darjeeling Green Tea leaves from Eastern India, Lemon Peel from Western India, the Coriander and Vetiver from the fields around Jaisalmer. Angelica roots, liquorice, and caraway seeds are among the other botanicals used in the gin, giving it a spicy, slightly anise-tinged flavour.

Organised by Food Talk, the event anticipates a turnaround of over 8,000 to 10,000 attendees.
