TERAI India Dry Gin is a modern gin rooted in London Dry Gin traditions but with an intrinsically Indian flavour profile and character.
It is a vibrant gin which begins with lush green notes lifted by a citrus zest. This is followed by a characteristic floral bouquet and a sweet and piney juniper aroma. On the palate, sweet and herbaceous flavours are balanced by a dry spice and savoury finish.
A smooth gin completely at home in both simple and sophisticated cocktails.
A perfect backdrop to create a lasting legacy. Home to our founders since the 14th century
Terai is a belt of fertile marshlands running along the foothills of the Himalayas. Watered by springs and rivers, this land is lush, bountiful and fresh – all echoed in our carefully crafted TERAI gin.
The Swarup family, the founders, have a long history of agriculture and distillation in the region, and are dedicated to preserving the sanctity of the land and its people.
Established by Shekhar Swarup, a 4th generation distiller, our distillery in Behror, Rajasthan houses a custom-made Carl copper pot-still. Here we create our gin with eleven botanicals in a traditional one-shot London Dry process.
The base distillate, TERAI’s pure heart, is the rice grain spirit selected from the adjoining family distillery. This Grain to Glass process gives us the ability to best reflect the distiller’s expression.
A closely controlled process from end-to-end allowing our distiller to best reflect the flavours and aromas of TERAI.
A journey of labour & love, imagination & innovation, and craft & care hallmark each aspect of TERAI.
A playful stopper, hand-crafted by artisans from Channapatna, Karnataka — the 'toy town' of India.
Made with responsibly sourced local wood, coloured using natural lacquer and vegetable dyes, the TERAI stopper is sustainable and chemical free.
An original bottle, inspired by the pillars of ancient Indian architecture.
The multi faceted bottle is a contemporary reimagining of a uniquely Indian aesthetic.
An intricate label adorned with the story of vintage Indian coins.
The wreath showcasing Terai Gin's eleven botanicals is inspired by a classic design found on vintage Indian coins. The story ties back to the Swarup family tradition of adding a coin to their collection every Diwali — a ritual practiced since the 1800s.
The Swarup Family established one of the first distilleries in independent India.
The First Swarup farm begins production in the foothills of the Himalayas. They harvest sugarcane, and other indigenous crops in the fertile wetlands of the Terai region.
The original family distillery was founded in 1958 on the outskirts of the Terai region. The family has been involved with the alcohol industry in India ever since, setting up 5 more distilleries across North India.
Established in 2019, the home of TERAI is in Behror, Rajasthan. A boutique single gin craft distillery with a one-of-a-kind visitor experience.
TERAI periodically releases limited edition Stoppers to spotlight matters that we believe in. To mark the occasion, each release in the TERAI Heart series switches up our signature green lacquered handcrafted Channapatna stoppers for a different symbolic colour.
