New Delhi, April 25, 2025.
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 top honour—cementing its position not just as a standout gin, but as one of the best spirits from India across all categories.
In its most competitive edition to date, the 2025 London Spirits Competition saw over 500 entries from 30+ countries, including leading international gin houses and heritage spirit labels. Jin Jiji’s commanding performance puts India at the forefront of the global gin conversation, delivering a bold statement about the country’s fast-rising craft credentials.
Crafted using Himalayan juniper, tulsi (holy basil), chamomile, and a curated selection of Indian botanicals, Jin Jiji has consistently impressed connoisseurs with its layered complexity, balance, and a flavour profile deeply rooted in India’s biodiversity and cultural nuance.
“India has always had the ingredients for world-class spirits—what we needed was belief and craft,” said Ansh Khanna, Founder of Peak Spirits, makers of Jin Jiji. “To be recognised as the world’s top-rated/best gin and the Spirit of the Year is not just a win for us—it’s a win for Indian craftsmanship on a global stage.”
Jin Jiji’s global journey has seen it steadily rise through the ranks, with previous accolades from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, IWSC, and others. With this latest recognition, it joins an elite club of spirits that are not just enjoyed but celebrated worldwide.
Available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, Jin Jiji is proudly independent, rooted in India, and built on the values of authenticity, provenance, and storytelling.
