Hapusa Himalayan Dry Gin Review

This craft gin uses Indian-grown ginger and cardamom, and Himalayan juniper. But it is the inclusion of other less-traditional botanicals that truly defines its profile — most notably mango and turmeric. While not a like-for-like alternative to your favorite London Dry, this gin's aromatic spice and rich fruit notes open up a world of possibilities for adventurous cocktail creation.
