This gin is matured in casks and is intended to be enjoyed on the rocks, a la classic cocktail. Each bottle includes a “grapefruit garnish spray.” The product’s label and packaging are a reflection of the exact environment it is inspired by—India’s luxuriant and varied forests. This ready-to-drink cocktail boasts a beautiful shade of amber from the casks it is aged in. Sporting the subtle undertones of vanilla, raisins, dark fruit and a special grapefruit garnish spray, this gin is a luxurious sip of Indian culture.
India’s first ever distilled cocktail, Perry Road Peru, is meticulously crafted using the freshest guavas that are hand-selected and peeled at their peak, carefully macerated for 6 hours, and then distilled for a further 18 hours, until every drop is vibrantly fresh. The end-result is a flavor-balanced, unique cocktail with a vivid tint made in a single batch. It can be savored with ice in a rocks glass or in a highball topped with soda or tonic and garnished with the Spice Mix packet that is included with the bottle. As soon as it was launched, Perry Road Peru became a national phenomenon. It was conceived from the beginning as a celebration of Mumbai and a way to demonstrate their mutual enthusiasm and for all things local and seasonal. Originally intended to be an intriguing test, this Gin quickly gained popularity among consumers and became a huge success.
