Seven Islands combines two Indian malts from the Himalayan foothills and Vindhyan ranges with two Scottish malts from Speyside and the Lowlands.
The move positions whisky as TI’s second major growth pillar alongside its brandy portfolio, which includes Mansion House and Monarch Legacy Edition.
“India’s whisky story is evolving faster than ever, with growing consumer demand for premium and luxury expressions,” said Amit Dahanukar, Chairman and Managing Director of Tilaknagar Industries Ltd.
“Seven Islands marks TI’s entry into this dynamic category, bringing together Indian craftsmanship and global expertise to create a whisky that is both distinctly Indian and globally competitive.”
