Baagh Blue Indian Craft Gin beside a serve over ice

Baagh Blue brings wild jamun together with hibiscus, butterfly pea flower, Himalayan juniper, citrus, coriander and whole pepper.

Wild jamun is a fruit almost everyone here grew up with and almost no one had put at the centre of a gin. It gives Baagh Blue its dark, faintly tannic sweetness. Hibiscus lifts it, and whole pepper carries it long.
