Restaurant India News: Vanaha Gin Expands to Rajasthan, Haryana and Pondicherry After Global Awards

Vanaha Gin, produced by Revelry Distillery, is expanding its distribution footprint following a series of international recognitions. The brand has entered Rajasthan, Haryana and Pondicherry, adding to its existing presence in Goa and Madhya Pradesh.

The expansion comes shortly after the brand secured five global awards, including a Master Medal at The Spirits Business Global Gin Masters, along with recognitions from International Wine & Spirit Competition and Global Wine & Spirits Awards Asia, and a Gold at The Spirits Business Global Spirits Design Masters. The company also stated that Vanaha is the only gin globally shortlisted for Innovation in Production at The Spirits Business Awards 2025.

The move reflects a targeted expansion strategy focused on markets with evolving premium consumption trends. Pondicherry’s growing alcobev ecosystem and demand in Rajasthan and Haryana are seen as contributing factors in the brand’s market selection.

The product is developed using 24 botanicals and follows a five-stage distillation process that includes Botanical Maceration, Copper Pot Distillation, Vapour Infusion, Cold Vacuum Distillation, and Staging. The inclusion of cold vacuum distillation is intended to retain the aromatic and structural properties of the botanicals, aligning with industry trends around process-led differentiation in premium spirits.

The brand is led by Vaniitha Jaiin, who has built and operates the distillery independently. The company has positioned its production approach around a combination of copper pot distillation systems, data-led processes, and sustainability considerations.

Vaniitha Jaiin, Founder & Chief Evangelist, Revelry Distillery, said, “Vanaha was born from a simple yet ambitious idea — to bottle the soul of a forest in its most pristine form. Each new market represents not just expansion, but the opportunity to share our philosophy of mindful distillation, authenticity, and Indian craftsmanship with a wider audience.”

Industry observers note that the expansion signals a broader shift within India’s premium spirits segment, where domestic brands are scaling both distribution and global recognition through process innovation and origin-focused positioning.
