As India celebrates Independence Day, the country’s premium spirits industry is proudly championing a new movement, one that celebrates homegrown craftsmanship, indigenous ingredients and brands that are redefining what Made in India truly stands for. Today’s consumers are embracing Indian spirits that are authentic, innovative and deeply rooted in local heritage.
Kantala Spirits is proud to be part of this evolving landscape with a portfolio that showcases the diversity of Indian craftsmanship. Leading the portfolio is Gracia Viva Agave, a contemporary Indian agave spirit, alongside Gracia Cero, an alcohol-free agave beverage crafted for modern mindful consumers. Celebrating one of India’s most iconic artisanal spirits is Gracia Século XVI, a premium Cashew Feni that honours Goa’s centuries-old distilling traditions while bringing this GI-recognised spirit to a wider audience. Complementing the portfolio are Rakshas, a bold sweet-and-spicy whisky, and Rum Bharosey, a spiced rum inspired by easy conversations and shared moments.
At a time when consumers are actively seeking premium Indian brands with authentic stories, Kantala Spirits remains committed to celebrating local craftsmanship while introducing contemporary spirits that proudly represent India on every shelf and every pour.
“India has an incredible legacy of indigenous spirits and artisanal distilling. At Kantala Spirits, our vision is to celebrate this heritage while creating contemporary brands that showcase the quality, creativity and innovation of Indian spirits. This Independence Day, we invite consumers to raise a toast to brands that are proudly Made in India and crafted for the world,” says Suzann Homan- Founder of Kantala Spirits.
This 15th August, Kantala Spirits celebrates India’s spirit of innovation, entrepreneurship and craftsmanship, encouraging consumers to discover and support homegrown spirits that honour tradition while shaping the future of India’s premium beverage industry.
