Jin Jiji Declared World's Best Gin -- Also Named 'Spirit of the Year'

NEW DELHI, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jin Jiji, India's pioneering artisanal gin crafted by Peak Spirits, has been awarded 98 points and a Gold Medal at the London Spirits Competition 2025, making it the highest-rated gin in the world this year. In a landmark moment for Indian spirits, Jin Jiji was also crowned 'Spirit of the Year', the competition's highest honor—cementing its place as not only a standout gin but one of the world's top spirits.

Founded by Master Sommelier Ken Fredrickson and wine and spirits expert Ansh Khanna, Jin Jiji reflects a shared vision of celebrating India's rich biodiversity and elevating it to the global stage. The gin is crafted with Himalayan juniper, tulsi (holy basil), chamomile, and a carefully selected array of Indian botanicals, offering a flavor profile that is complex, balanced, and unmistakably rooted in India's cultural and natural heritage.

"India has always had the ingredients for world-class spirits—what we needed was belief and craft," said Ansh Khanna, Co-Founder of Jin Jiji and Peak Spirits. "To be recognized as the world's best gin and Spirit of the Year is not just a win for us—it's a win for Indian craftsmanship on a global platform."

Jin Jiji is imported to the United States by High Road Spirits and sold through its extensive distribution network, including Skurnik Wines, High Road Wine and Spirits, and Maverick Beverage Company. The brand continues to expand internationally, now available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.

From India to the world, Jin Jiji is redefining what modern gin can be—independent, authentic, and storied.
