OUR MISSION.
OUR DHARMA.
Dharma Indian Dry Gin
is the world’s
first & only spirit inspired by Ayurvedic practice.
Indians believe that there are natural Ayurvedic superfoods that adapt to aid your body's specific needs. Dharma Gin utilizes Ayurvedic botanicals that come directly from India, because it's important to us that we distill with the highest quality of ingredients that are intertwined with our history and culture.
Our Dharma - our duty - is to showcase a variety of unique botanicals, so vastly different from one another, yet blended together in perfect harmony, creating a delightful balance of Ayurvedic ingredients.
WHY DHARMA? WHY GIN?
In 1825, British army officers who landed on the shores of India were plagued with malaria. As they tried to find a cure for this rampant disease, they began to mix their favorite spirit - gin - with bark from the Indian Cinchona tree, also known as quinine. Utilizing Indian Ayurveda with their gin, one of the most iconic drinks in the history of spirits was born: the gin and tonic.
Dharma, which translates to the journey of finding life’s true purpose, is setting out to re-establish this historical partnership between Britain and India by creating the world’s first Indian Dry Gin inspired by ancient Ayurveda.
DHARMA INDIAN DRY GIN has been tasted & tested over 50 distillations.
We have crafted the perfect gin to be enjoyed neat, at room temperature, or in a classic gin cocktail.
Unique to the craftsmanship of our gin, pouring DHARMA neat is our favorite way to savor the layered flavors bursting on the palate, with each sip having its own distinctive richness.
