Indian Dry TAMRAS Gin
$99.00 SGD
Unit price perRegion: Goa, India
Distillery: Adventurist Spirits
Age: NAS
ABV: 42.8 %
Size: 700 ml
Tamras Gin starts its journey with the highest quality Neutral Grain Spirit distilled from the finest Punjab Rice in India. The botanicals are carefully sourced and distilled in their small-batch 230 litre Müeller Copper Still, "Odysseus". The traditional method of using a Copper Still ensures an ultra-refined liquid, and a smooth mouth-feel with delicate flavours kept intact.
The botanicals are distilled in groups as individual distillates in a recipe defined by the Master Distiller from Germany - Julia Nourney. The individual distillate route allows them to use whole fruit citrus harvested only in winter and distill more delicate botanicals like Nilgiri Tea and Indian Mint at their own speed uncompromised by the presence of other botanicals. The distillates are left to rest. No sugar, artificial flavours or essences are added. Every drop of Neutral Grain Spirit is redistilled. The distillates are married together for slow dilution with filtered water over 28 days. Slow-dilution ensures a more integrated and harmonious flavour. Finally, Tāmras Gin is bottled and labelled at the distillery in Goa itself ready to enjoy in your favourite cocktail or just neat.
Botanicals include Juniper Berries, Corrander Seeds, Lotus Flowers, Lotus Seeds, Mausambi, Indian Lemon, Grapefruit, Nilgiri Tea, Angelica Root, Orris Root, Fennel Seeds, Green Cardamom, Black Cardamom, Cubeb Peppers, Lemon Verbena.

Unraveling the Spell of Spellings — Whisky or Whiskey?
Whisky or Whiskey—within this seemingly subtle difference in spelling lies a rich tapestry of historical narratives and geographical identities within the world of distilled spirits. The debate surrounding these spellings is not merely a matter of letters; it's a reflection of diverse traditions and production styles across regions. 'Whisky,' sans the 'e,' embodies the legacy of Scotland's revered Scotch whisky, steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. On the other hand, 'whiskey,' adorned with the added 'e,' stands as a hallmark of Ireland's and America's vibrant whiskey-making traditions, each spelling carrying its own historical lineage and distinct characteristics. Let's embark on a journey to unravel the nuances and cultural significance embedded within these seemingly minor yet profoundly significant variations in spelling.
The Resurgence of Japanese Shochu: A Hidden Gem on the Global Stage
Our founder, Mr. Chandrakant Mohanty, shared insights with Gavin Yeung of Tatler regarding the burgeoning popularity of Japanese Shochu. 'Historically, Shochu was perceived as a blue-collar drink in Japan until the 1970s,' Chandrakant Mohanty, the founder of Mizunara: The Shop, a Japanese spirits distributor based in Hong Kong and Singapore, explains. 'The advent of vacuum distillation and the innovation of 100% mugi [barley] Shochu transformed the landscape, introducing lighter and more palatable varieties.' This marked the inception of the 'shochu boom,' elevating its status domestically until the early 1980s.
A Shift in Standards: To Be or Not To Be 'Japanese Whisky
Recent developments in Japanese Whisky have brought about new labelling standards set by the Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association. These standards aim to clarify what constitutes Japanese whisky, addressing concerns over authenticity amid its global popularity surge. MIZUNARA, a supporter of transparency, welcomes these changes and is updating product categories accordingly.
Introducing Mizunara: The Library Hong Kong
Where we craft artisanal experiences through bespoke cocktails and curate a diverse collection of Japanese whiskies.
Like many of its Tokyo counterparts, finding Mizunara involves venturing into a nondescript commercial building. You could very well be in Ginza from the moment you step through the doors..
What’s better than a whisky bar? A whisky library that’s a little bit hard to find.
Mizunara is a sophisticated sanctuary serving up premium and rare whiskies primarily from Japan and Scotland, as well as a list of signature, or bespoke cocktails.
The sophisticated vibes at this Ginza-style whiskey bar are trumped only by lead bartender Masahiko Endo's white dinner jacket and bow tie.
Aside from rare (whisky) bottlings and expertly crafted cocktails, the bar incorporates a full-on terrace (complete with karesansui, or a traditional Japanese zen garden) where guests can relax... with a cigar...
Though Hong Kong is host to a good number of bars that aim to reproduce the classic Japanese cocktail bar experience, none have it down like Mizunara.
