Stranger & Sons is a contemporary Indian Gin, the debut spirit from Third Eye Distillery in Goa. Crafted with inherently Indian botanicals including a unique citrus peel mix and warm spices such as pepper, mace and nutmeg, it’s distilled using the single shot method in a precision iStill. The ‘Stranger’ is a nod to the wonderful Indian strangeness that is the invisible essence captured in the bottle for a curious and discerning consumer. Founded by three family members, the ‘& Sons’ is an ode to traditional family-owned businesses that are inherited by each generation and a tribute to the entrepreneurial spirit inherent in most Indians. Tasting Notes & Signature Serves: Owing to its unique botanical makeup, this gin is a three-dimensional spirit, which highlights each botanical in the gin and reveals new layers on the nose and palate with each sip. Heady on the nose – The citrus peels (Indian Bergamot, Indian Lime, Nagpur Oranges & Gondhoraj) shine the brightest here and gives the gin a beautiful freshness on the front palate Mid palate – A flourish of warm spices including black pepper, mace, nutmeg and coriander give it a strong, spiced middle. Aftertaste – Smooth, earthy and sweet finish owing to liquorice, cassia bark and mace Signature serves include fresh, flavourful Gimlets & aromatic, layered Gibsons which are also a homage to India’s pickling and cordialling culture. The Strange G&T heroes an ingredient that is found in every kitchen in India - a slice of ginger, which brings out the balance of the botanicals in the gin, resulting in a refreshing thirst-quencher.
