We know a lot of things about gin like how it can be paired with even those ‘ this can’t be paired with gin’ botanicals.

To all the people who love their cup of chai in the morning and in the evenings it’s neat gin or cocktails of gin.

Rutland Square a moment embedded with rich history
Rutland Square is one of the finest distillery creating a unique expression at Summerhall distillery in Edinburgh. Under the guidance of Nishant Sharmawho has lived almost all his life in Scotland and yet in his heart – the land of Assam (his second home) glows more the anything else. This brand is established on the inspirational story and legacy of his Great-grandfather Tej Ram Bawa. Tej was an Indian spirit entrepreneur who commenced his journey in Assam – The land of tea farms. Before being a part of the alcohol industry, he used to work in the forest department. It was later that his passion of entrepreneurship directed him towards starting his own business of blending and creating spirits.
‘Tej would buy single malt whisky from the British officers stationed in Assam and blend it with his local whisky, obsessively mixing and layering tastes and aromas. He cultivated his skills as a craftsman of liquor, creating a complex blend adapted to the subtle Indian palate.’

There were a lot of extensive changes done on an official scale which made its way through his enterprise by the end of the 20th century. In the year 1985, government changed the laws and regulations while prohibiting production of alcohol locally. Even though Tej was forced to shutdown his shining distillery, his family continued and honoured his work down the timeline.
