Revelry Distillery, the creator of Vanaha Gin, has unveiled a new expression of Vanaha called Buransh Bagh. Distilled from the unique Rhododendron arboreum, which is locally known as Buransh, this gin is the perfect example of their Forest-To-Bottle philosophy. The gin is also being positioned as the first Buransh gin in the world. From its availability to its price, here are all of the important details that you would need to know about this incredible new bottle.
Vanaha Buransh Bagh undergoes the same five-step distillation process that lends Vanaha its noteworthy finish. The process combines copper pot distillation, vapor infusion, and cold vacuum distillation.
The process begins with the Buransh flower that grows along the Himalayan belt. It is not cultivated, and its blooming season lasts around six weeks between mid-February and mid-April.
The bottle will be available in the Indian states of Goa, where it will be priced at INR 2,750; Karnataka, where it will cost INR 3,350; and Maharashtra, where it will cost INR 3,850.

Naviin Jaiin, the co-founder of Vanaha Gin, said, “Every time we think we have found the edge of what Indian forests can offer, we find something like Buransh. This is a flower that has quietly defined an entire season in the Himalayan forests for generations, and almost nobody outside those hills has heard of it. That is exactly the kind of discovery Revelry exists to bring to the world.”
Founder Vaniitha Jaiin, talking about Vanaha Buransh Bagh, said, “Navvin and I spent ten days in those villages during the bloom. We trekked into the forest with the women who forage Buransh every year, and watched grandmothers climb trees in their sarees like it was nothing at all. I understood, finally, why this flower means so much to the people who grow up with it, and why the rest of the world has never had the chance to experience it. Vanaha Buransh Bagh is our attempt to change that — told exactly as we found it, with patience, restraint and respect for where it comes from.”
