Jin JiJi High Proof er inspireret af den kongelige britiske flåde, som stillede et højt alkoholkrav til transport af gin til Indien under kolonitiden. Da pladsen på skibe var knap, foretrak flåden alkohol med højere styrke, for at kunne transportere mere på et mindre rum. En high-proof gin indeholder flere botaniske aromaer og resulterer i en mere kompleks gin. Jin JiJi High Proof Gin passer til den moderne tankegang, som er at bruge højere proof spiritus i cocktails for en fyldigere smag, vægt og intensitet.
Aromatiske noter af saftige bær, eksotiske urter og honning. Det høje alkoholindhold danner en fantastisk cremet konsistens, som stadig er genkendelig i den lange finish og passer perfekt til den søde note.

Distilled in Goa. Jin JiJi High Proof is inspired by the Royal British Navy who during Colonial times first set a high proof requirement for gin being transported to India. As space is scarce on ships, the Navy preferred alcohol at higher strength as they could get more in a smaller space. A strength of 57% ensures that gunpowder isn’t contaminated in case of a spill.
India is the world’s botanical garden, home to the finest and most diverse botanicals.These botanicals are found as far North as the Himalayas – home to Himalayan Juniper and Chamomile, and in the south, where cashew nuts and spices thrive. Jin Jiji is produced in Southern Goa – India’s vibrant capital for craft spirits. A high proof gin will hold more of the aromatics from the botanicals and result in a more complex gin. Jin JiJi High Proof gin fits in with a contemporary attitude to use higher proof spirits in cocktails for fuller flavor by adding weight and intensity.
