Gin's carbon-conscious

The Craft

The identity of Cherrapunji Eastern Craft Gin is based on an uncommon premise – using rain as the primary water source in a region defined by it

Distilled with purified rainwater rather than extracted groundwater, the spirit reflects both its geography and a conscious response to water scarcity in one of the wettest places on earth. Crafted with 12 botanicals native to India's Northeast, the gin opens with vibrant citrus notes, moves into gentle spice, and finishes with a clean, rounded softness, and a smoky after taste.

Foraging & Sourcing

There was no ready supply chain for many of our botanicals — so we built one

Working directly with village communities, small farmers, and regional agricultural centers, ingredients are sourced as close to the distillery as possible. While conventional models rely on globally traded botanicals, we prioritize proximity, traceability, and freshness, allowing the culinary landscape of the region to lend its identity to the spirit.

Unique Botanicals

The recipe, which is anchored by wild Himalayan juniper, is lifted by GI-tagged Khasi mandarin and Assamese lemon — ingredients rarely seen in gin production

Green cardamom, wild pepper from the Garo Hills, black cardamom from Sikkim, and pine-smoked tea from the Lushai Hills add depth without overwhelming the citrus core.

Energy-Efficient Distillation

The technology is not an accessory to the craft – it is central to how we reduce environmental impact while maintaining distillation accuracy

Our gin is produced in advanced stills sourced from the Netherlands, designed to consume 70% less energy than traditional copper systems.

Our Philosophy

Crafting a spirit shaped by its environment, while remaining accountable to it, is at the heart of everything that we do

Rainwater harvesting, hyperlocal sourcing, responsible technology, and reusable stainless-steel packaging are interconnected decisions.
