Nepalese Gin UK

I am Proud to Be the Brand Ambassador for Timur Gin | Sil Timur Gin from KODOKO Distillery

At KODOKO Distillery, I am thrilled to step into the role of brand ambassador, representing a product that mirrors my passion for creativity, local empowerment, and innovative culinary exploration. As someone who has journeyed through countless kitchens across the world, I am excited to bring this same dedication and knowledge to promoting our Nepalese gin.

A Journey of Culinary Excellence

My story is one of love for food and a relentless pursuit of excellence. As a chef who has had the privilege of traveling worldwide and leading culinary teams for some of the most renowned airlines, such as British Airways, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Austrian Airlines, and Delta Airlines, as well as catering for high-profile events like Formula 1, the Champions League Final, the Euro Cup, and FIFA 2022, I have gained a unique perspective on the art of crafting exceptional dishes and beverages.

My experiences have earned me the nickname “Spice Pundit,” a testament to my expertise in marrying and pairing spices and herbs with the finest ingredients. I take pride in being able to create unforgettable flavors that captivate the palate.

Beyond my work in the kitchen, I am honored to be a visiting faculty member at Oxford College of Engineering and Management, where I share my culinary journey with the next generation of hospitality professionals. I also write a weekly column in a Nepalese national newspaper, where I delve deep into the rich tapestry of Nepali food, spices, and herbs, inspiring others to explore Nepal’s unique culinary heritage.

Bringing Nepalese Gin to the World

As the brand ambassador for KODOKO Distillery, I am eager to bring my passion and expertise to the world of gin. My recent visit to our distillery in Ashford, UK, allowed me to learn every detail of our gin-making process, from start to finish. Nepalese gin is something truly special. It combines the traditional British craftsmanship of gin-making with unique Himalayan botanicals, such as Timur spice and Siltimur spice, creating flavors that are both bold and exotic, a tribute to Nepal’s rich cultural and natural heritage.

With my deep understanding of these unique flavors, coupled with my global culinary experience, I am excited to represent this extraordinary product on the world stage. The idea of blending the old with the new aligns perfectly with my philosophy as a chef — creating a gin that embodies the essence of Nepal while adhering to the highest global standards.

A Shared Vision for Global Recognition

At KODOKO Distillery, we are determined to elevate Nepalese gin to a global brand. With the incredible team here, I am confident that we can achieve this vision. Collaborating with top mixologists and cocktail creators worldwide, I am already working to craft innovative beverages that showcase the unique qualities of our gin.

My dedication to promoting Nepalese gin, advocating for local and regional empowerment, and nurturing young talent has often led the media to refer to me as “more than a chef.” I embrace this title with pride because I am passionate about being an ambassador not just for our gin, but for Nepalese culture and craftsmanship.

The Future of KODOKO Distillery

With the trust and support of KODOKO Distillery, I look forward to a bright future for Nepalese gin. Together, we are working tirelessly to make Nepalese gin recognized globally for its unique ingredients and superior quality. By blending the rich heritage of Nepal with the great British value of craftsmanship, we are creating something truly exceptional.

I invite you all to join us on this journey, to experience Nepalese gin like never before — a beautiful blend of tradition, innovation, and passion. Let’s celebrate the spirit of Nepal, one sip at a time!

Cheers,

Binod Baral, Proud Brand Ambassador for Timur Gin & Sil Timur Gin at KODOKO Distillery
