The story
Hapusa is the gin brand developed within Nao Spirits (Goa, India), a company founded and led by Anand Virmani. The Nao project took shape in the mid-2010s and Hapusa was launched as a premium label that highlights local botanicals; the group later attracted strategic investments and international recognition.
Production philosophy
Research and enhancement of Indian botanicals and local ingredients: the brand aims for territorial distinctiveness (locally foraged Himalayan juniper and native spices/fruits) combined with an artisanal, contemporary approach to gin production.
Territory
Goa, India (production and operational base linked to Nao Spirits)
Awards and recognition
International mentions and awards reported in industry profiles: IWSC (Gold 2021), SIP Awards (Double Gold 2020) and recognition at the World Gin Awards / Asia Gin Masters in various editions.
Production method
Distillation in a pot-still using the "one-shot" method (all botanicals added in a single distillation) starting from a neutral spirit; process oriented to the aromatic profile of Indian botanicals rather than ageing techniques.
Distillation
One-shot in pot-still (botanicals added in a single pass); artisanal still reported by industry sources.
