• Balance/Complexity:
  A bold, aromatic gin with earthy complexity, offering a unique combination of spicy juniper, citrus, and herbal flavors.

FAQs

• Is it named after the Jamun fruit?
  No, Jamun refers to the juniper berry, which is often called “Jamun” in Himalayan trekking regions due to its dark, berry-like appearance, not the Java Plum.

• Is it as smooth as Old Monk?
  It is a completely different spirit, but it shares the same “distillation DNA” of Mohan Meakin, focusing on bold, characterful flavors rather than a neutral profile.

• How does it compare to Greater Than?
  Jamun Gin is generally considered more earthy and “wild” due to the Himalayan juniper, whereas Greater Than follows a cleaner, more citrus-centric London Dry path.

Signature Recipes

• The Himalayan G&T:
  Ingredients: 50ml Jamun Gin, 150ml classic Indian tonic water.
  Garnish: A stick of cinnamon or peppercorns to highlight the gin’s spicy, wild profile.

• Mountain Negroni:
  Ingredients: 30ml Jamun Gin, 30ml Campari, 30ml Sweet Vermouth.
  The earthy juniper stands up exceptionally well to the bitterness of Campari.

• The Solan Martini:
  Ingredients: 60ml Jamun Gin, 10ml dry vermouth.
  Method: Stir with ice until bone-cold, strain into a chilled glass, and garnish with a lemon twist to cut through the rich oils of the gin.
