Gin can be made using some of the most commonly found ingredients, such as grains, grapes or potatoes. However, the key component to craft the spirit is juniper berries, which are blended with the other ingredients to make one of the best spirits known to mankind: gin. With such room for experimentation, it’s little wonder that Asian distilleries too have created their own versions. Here are some of the best.

Many distilleries have sprouted over the years to create some of the finest gin in various styles, such as barrel-aged, London dry and contemporary. The Asian gin brands have taken this route to create some of the smoothest variations of the spirit, infused with locally grown botanicals and herbs that add a range of flavours — from spicy and sour to sweet and bitter — to every sip you take.
