Introducing AER Gin: A Unique Collaboration Between Four Seasons Mumbai and Third Eye Distillery
In a landmark collaboration, the iconic rooftop bar AER at Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai joins forces with the pioneering Third Eye Distillery, makers of Stranger & Sons gin, to unveil AER Gin, a spirit that embodies Mumbai's coastal charm. This marks the first-ever partnership between a major Indian hotel and a local distillery to create a bespoke alcoholic beverage.
AER Gin, dubbed the “Spirit of the City by the Sea,” features a unique blend of local coastal botanicals, including Indian tamarind, kokum, and mangosteen, distilled to capture the essence of Mumbai's maritime allure. Crafted exclusively for AER, this gin offers a fresh and saline flavour profile that is distinctively Mumbai.
Renowned for its chic nautical décor and breathtaking views, AER has recently been recognized by the Times Food & Nightlife Awards 2024 for Best Ambience in a Bar, and by 2024 Icons of Drinks among “Great Bars of the World.” The venue’s design, inspired by luxury yachts, sets the perfect stage for AER Gin's maritime-inspired flavours.
Alexandre Renoue, Beverage Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, has curated a series of “Perfect Serves” to showcase AER Gin’s versatility to enhance the guest experience from dusk till dawn. These range from a delightful AER Gin Gimlet with a kokam cordial and a spirit-forward Martini using an Indian wine along with vermouth, to a refreshing Gimlet Spritz, among others.
Sakshi Saigal, Co-founder of Third Eye Distillery, remarks on the collaboration: “This exclusive gin is a testament to our dedication to innovation and craft, reflecting both AER's creative spirit and the commitment of Four Seasons Mumbai to unparalleled luxury experiences."
Nitesh Gandhi, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, adds, “We are proud to introduce this unique, handcrafted spirit, a testament to our enduring commitment to providing exceptional experiences to our guests. This collaboration with Third Eye Distillery represents our dedication to innovation and the celebration of local flavours and craftsmanship."
