Tilaknagar Industries Ltd. (TI), India’s leading brandy producer, has announced the launch of Monarch Legacy Edition, marking its debut into the luxury brandy market. Founded in 1933, TI has long been synonymous with quality spirits, with iconic products like Mansion House Brandy, the world’s second-largest-selling brandy.
Monarch Legacy Edition is a premium 100% pure grape brandy that blends the finest French and Indian grape spirits. This exclusive offering is the result of TI’s 90-year legacy, combining French craftsmanship and Indian terroir. The brandy blends aged French grape spirits, matured for up to 8 years in oak casks, with Indian grape spirits from Maharashtra’s Sahyadri region.
The distillery in Shrirampur, near Nashik—India’s wine capital—has been led by the Dahanukar family for nearly a century. It utilizes traditional coal-fired copper pot stills, a technique synonymous with French Cognac distillation, to craft this exceptional brandy. The combination of French aging methods and Maharashtra’s warm climate enhances the brandy’s complexity, resulting in rich notes of dried fruits, spices, and a deep, fruity character.
Monarch Legacy Edition is a celebration of both French and Indian cultures, offering a sophisticated drinking experience that showcases the best of both worlds. As the only luxury brandy of its kind in India, Monarch is poised to redefine the Indian brandy market, elevating it to new heights of excellence.
