Nestled in the high and often snowy foothills of the Himalayas in northern India, Shimla was once the summer capital of the British Raj, famous in its time for being a hill station where people could enjoy its fresh, cool climate high above the searingly hot plains below. Many a writer recounted legendary stories about Shimla’s elegant social life, the place where gin was first mixed with quinine tonic. From the inspiration that comes from India, we have crafted a true premium craft gin and a spiced rum in the historic industrial heartland of middle England – Birmingham!
