DUTY ZERO by cdf Presents: N.I.P Gin
N.I.P. Gin was created by two young men, Nick and Jeremy, who began their journey in 2017 with a vision to establish a Hong Kong distillery dedicated to producing 100% locally brewed gins, bringing authentic Hong Kong flavours to everyone.
Quoting one of Hong Kong's all-time most popular movies – "Your path is yours to choose" – it doesn’t matter what background you come from or what status you hold; the ability to make a difference begins with you, and only yourself. This is the foundational philosophy of N.I.P. The name "N.I.P." represents the opposite of VIP, standing for Not Important Persons. The founders believe that anyone can pursue their passion and achieve their dreams by taking the first step and having unwavering faith, even if they are not a VIP or lack of experience or background. Another reason is that Hong Kong is a "nobody" in the gin scene.
Each bottle of N.I.P's gin is meticulously created with elements of Hong Kong. From produce to flavour, every element and detail is carefully selected and skilfully crafted to deliver a one-of-a-kind Hong Kong spirit and experience. A must-buy souvenir at HKIA!
Why settle for an ordinary souvenir when you can bring home a bottle of Hong Kong’s spirit? Let N.I.P. be your special choice, sharing this unique flavour of Hong Kong with your friends and family at duty free prices!
N.I.P Rare Dry Gin 500ml
Crafted with 21 botanicals, it blends traditional gin ingredients with flavours unique to Hong Kong—fresh pear, aged tangerine peels, osmanthus, and two types of Chinese tea. This carefully curated recipe harmonises diverse aromas and flavours, resulting in a spirit that is complex yet perfectly balanced. N.I.P Rare Dry Gin pays tribute to the rich culture, traditions, and people of Hong Kong, offering a one-of-a-kind taste experience rooted in the city's essence.
N.I.P Exotic City Gin 500ml
N.I.P Exotic City Gin showcases a lesser-known side of Hong Kong—the vibrant yet underrated local farms and agriculture. At its heart are locally grown perfume lemons, complemented by a medley of citrus, kaffir lime leaves, Yunnan black tea, mint, and verbena. This gin offers a bright and refreshing citrus-forward and savoury profile highlighting the unique flavours nurtured within Hong Kong's “concrete jungle”. A tribute to the city’s hidden agricultural treasures, N.I.P Exotic City Gin delivers a truly original taste of Hong Kong's untold story.
N.I.P Catnip Tea Gin No.1 Phoenix Orchid 500ml
The debut release in N.I.P's Special Tea Series, this gin is a refined celebration of premium Chinese tea beautifully harmonised with the essence of gin. Crafted with just four ingredients, including the premium Chinese oolong by the name of Honey Phoenix Orchid, this gin delivers a smooth and comforting profile with delicate notes of sweetness, citrus, and tropical fruits. Elegantly balanced and irresistibly relaxing, it's the kind of gin that might just leave you purring with delight—like a cat on catnip!
N.I.P Catnip Tea Gin No.2 Da Hong Pao 500ml
CATNIP Tea Gin No.2 Da Hong Pao is the second release in N.I.P's Tea Series, further exploring the exquisite harmony between gin and premium Chinese tea. This edition is crafted with the renowned ‘Da Hong Pao’ oolong tea, a prestigious cliff-grown tea from Wuyi, China, with a history dating back to the 1300s. Paired with mandarin peels, juniper, and coriander seeds, this gin offers a richer, darker roast profile with a touch of sweetness. A unique expression that's both comforting and relaxing, it's a sophisticated tribute to the art of tea and gin craftsmanship.
