DeVANS Breweries has entered India’s premium gin market with the launch of Gingalalahu, an Indian Craft Dry Gin handcrafted with nine exotic botanicals and distilled in 200-litre small-batch pot stills.
Bottled at 42.8% ABV,Gingalalahu is produced without artificial flavourings or added sweeteners, with its flavour profile derived entirely from carefully selected botanicals and spices. The company said the gin is inspired by the philosophy of “Nature’s Symphony in a Bottle” and is designed to deliver a balanced, refreshing and premium drinking experience.
Commenting on the launch, Prem Dewan, Chairman and Managing Director of DeVANS Modern Breweries, said the company’s entry into the premium craft gin segment reflects growing consumer demand for authentic, high-quality spirits rooted in craftsmanship. He added that the launch reinforces DeVANS’ vision of creating premium Indian spirits with global appeal.
Ahead of its commercial debut, Gingalalahu received international recognition at several spirits competitions. The gin won a Gold Medal at the Global Gin Masters 2025 in the Super Premium category and Silver Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2026, the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2026 in the UK, and the World Gin Awards 2026.
International gin expert and author Geraldine Coates also praised Gingalalahu, describing it as a classic-style gin with a balanced combination of juniper, citrus and spice, complemented by a smooth mouthfeel and a clean finish.
With its latest launch, DeVANS Modern Breweries aims to strengthen its premium spirits portfolio and expand its presence in India’s growing craft spirits market.
