Curried Spice, Distilled in Lancashire
“Badhai Ho” — congratulations — and the bottle earns it: an Indian-spice gin built the Batch way, with tamarind for tang, bay leaf for depth, and fenugreek for warmth across a full 18-botanical recipe. The IWSC tasters’ note is worth quoting from the importer sheet: “Elegant and exceptionally aromatic: curried spice with saffron, cardamom, and cumin. Fruity raisin notes follow, before a finish of citrus.” Importer production total: 660 bottles. Not to be confused with Batch’s separate Garam Masala Gin — different product, same spice family.

Tasting Notes
Sweet, gentle spice on the nose (importer); subtle spice and gentle warmth on the palate with a sweet heat on the finish. The IWSC note adds curried spice with saffron, cardamom, and cumin, fruity raisin mid-palate, citrus on the close.
How to Enjoy
In a G&T with Indian tonic and a bay-leaf or orange garnish; also a natural match for spiced dishes and curry nights.
