Nao Spirits - Hapusa Gin
In 2015, bar owners Anand Virmani and Vaibhav Singh were inspired to bring craft gin to India -  the birthplace of the Gin & Tonic - and to share Indian Gin with global markets. After experimenting with India's rich array of fruits, spices, and herbs, they created two recipes they were proud of: Greater Than and Hapusa Gin. In 2017, Nao Spirits was established and the two gins were launched, making Nao Spirits one of pioneers of the Indian craft gin industry. Their distillery in Goa is home to their 1000L Hagyo Copper Pot Still and the name 'Hapusa' is the translation of 'juniper in Sanskrit.
