Sherry Cask Aged Gin

This offering from Third Eye Distillery is matured for more than a year in former Amontillado and Olmoso sherry casks and blended with wild honey and cascara (the coffee cherry husk). This gin is matured in casks and is intended to be enjoyed on the rocks, a la classic cocktail. Each bottle includes a “grapefruit garnish spray.” The product’s label and packaging are a reflection of the exact environment it is inspired by—India’s luxuriant and varied forests. This ready-to-drink cocktail boasts a beautiful shade of amber from the casks it is aged in. Sporting the subtle undertones of vanilla, raisins, dark fruit and a special grapefruit garnish spray, this gin is a luxurious sip of Indian culture.

Perry Road Peru

India’s first ever distilled cocktail, Perry Road Peru, is meticulously crafted using the freshest guavas that are hand-selected and peeled at their peak, carefully macerated for 6 hours, and then distilled for a further 18 hours, until every drop is vibrantly fresh. The end-result is a flavor-balanced, unique cocktail with a vivid tint made in a single batch. It can be savored with ice in a rocks glass or in a highball topped with soda or tonic and garnished with the Spice Mix packet that is included with the bottle. As soon as it was launched, Perry Road Peru became a national phenomenon. It was conceived from the beginning as a celebration of Mumbai and a way to demonstrate their mutual enthusiasm and for all things local and seasonal. Originally intended to be an intriguing test, this Gin quickly gained popularity among consumers and became a huge success.

Stranger & Sons Gin

A progressive and contemporary style gin, rooted in Indian tradition, Stranger & Sons gin is the flagship gin of Third Eye Distillery. Featuring 9 inherently Indian botanicals, this gin pays homage to the diverse nature of India’s cultural landscape.
