Greater Than Gin
From: NÄO Spirits
The first London dry gin made in India. Copper pot distilled with botanicals sourced from India and around the world. This gin has clean juniper and fresh lemon peel on the nose and a zing of ginger on the finish.
In 2015, the world was going through a “Ginaissance” and yet, two bar owners in Delhi who waited expectantly for the tsunami of Gin brands were left high and dry. The country where Gin & Tonic was invented and where exotic gin botanicals are found in most home kitchens was still in the dark ages of Gin. If they wanted Gin, they were going to have to make it themselves.
They stepped out from behind the bar, got themselves a copper pot still and experimented with every spice, herb and fruit they could find. They found a lot, they distilled a lot, they tasted a lot and they fell down a lot. With a little bit of luck and a lot of help, they found a recipe they loved enough to not just want to serve at their own bar but to take to the rest of the country and the world.
“Greater Than” or “>” is their London Dry Gin made in India using some of the best botanicals from around the world. Made in a Copper Pot Still, it is India’s first and only craft Gin. As per its name, the Gin looks for all things greater. We hope others do too.

Hidden away in the back corner of a massive bottling facility lies a tiny shed which the team at NAO lovingly call their distillery.

Anand Virmani, NÄO Spirits
Gin & tonic was the creation of the British in India. It was introduced as a way of making quinine – used to combat malaria – taste less bitter. But the Indian spirits market has always been dominated by whisky and rum. Is that about to change? We caught up with the Guild’s first member from India, Anand Virmani, who Read more
