N.I.P - Limited Edition “Awakenings” is a gin created to reflect upon all the positive things amid a difficult year of 2020. With the year drawing to a close, the illustration celebrates all the memories and experiences we held dear throughout the year, whether it be an extent of self-growth, discovering new things about ourselves, or as simple as a closer relationship with our loved ones, family or friends.

With that in mind, a whimsical scene was born bringing vibrant colours and shining light on the road ahead for all of us in Hong Kong – a road that is filled with hope and happiness. Inspired by our favourite home sweets and puddings, the “Awakenings” displays a vivid apple and spices nosing, coupled with a warm, and fruity palette to begin with, followed by rushes of warm spices and tea to linger at the end.  We hope upon sipping the “Awakenings”, our guests feel the warmth and familiar scent of celebrations, and realise that even in tough times, there is still something to smile for.
