When the term Indian spirits was first used in the early 2000s, it was frequently associated with cheap, mass-produced dark liquors that could not compete with their international counterparts. In the world of spirits, they were viewed as nothing more than shadows. However, the days of Indian spirits fading into the background behind their foreign counterparts are long gone. Enter Short Story Gin, a new-age Indian spirit, declared as the ‘Country Winner’ for being the best London Dry Gin from India, at the World Gin Awards 2024
Short Story Gin Voted India’s Finest London Dry Gin Globally
Established by Third Eye Distillery, the same visionary minds behind the globally acclaimed Stranger & Sons Gin, Short Story was conceived with a grand vision. It aimed not only to fill a void in the market for top-quality Indian spirits but also to elevate the cocktail culture.
Despite its relatively recent debut, Short Story wasted no time in making its mark. Within a little over a year of its launch, it received attention and accolades across India and on the global stage. Its spirits quickly earned prestigious awards, standing shoulder to shoulder with the finest offerings from around the world.
The crowning achievement came when Short Story Dry Gin secured a Gold Medal. It was named the ‘Country Winner’ for the best London Dry Gin from India at the World Gin Awards 2024.
