RAKSASA Nutmeg Gin (Malaysia) — Rice-Wine Based Craft Gin with Penang Nutmeg (500ml, 40% ABV)
RAKSASA Nutmeg Gin is a distinctly Malaysian craft gin built on a 100% rice wine base from a century-old local distillery, then elevated with Penang nutmeg (“Pearl of the Orient”) for a warm, aromatic kick.
It keeps the silky smooth “East-meets-West” character of RAKSASA’s Original Gin, but adds a nutty, woody sweetness and extra bite for spice lovers.
How to drink
- Chilled neat / over ice: best to appreciate the rice-wine smoothness and nutmeg lift.
- G&T (simple + elegant): try 1:1 gin to tonic for a richer, spirit-forward serve; garnish with orange peel or lime, or add a cinnamon stick to echo the spice.
- Easy house cocktail: the brand’s cocktail page shows a nutmeg gin highball-style mix with lime juice, spiced syrup, soda, and a nutmeg garnish.
