Amar & Deep

Tygerassa Gin was inspired by two important women, two tigresses: Amar and Deep. Their story speaks of resilience, strength and independence, and that spirit lives in the botanicals of this gin.

Both left their ancestral villages in Punjab, through marriage, for foreign countries in Southeast Asia: Malaysia and Brunei. New languages, new cultures, new cuisines. These foreign lands eventually became home.
