In 2020, at IWSC (UK) when Stranger & Sons Gin was declared as one of the top 8 gins in the world with a Gold Outstanding medal, one thing was clear, the time had come for Indian spirits to take centre stage on the global spirits landscape. The year also brought in a massive ‘gin revolution’ and with it, a call for the premiumization of spirits in India, with Stranger & Sons being at the forefront of it.
After leading the charge in the rise of gin in India, Third Eye Distillery is now setting its sights on whiskey, the largest spirits category in India.
Enter, OTHERSIDE Subcontinental Whiskey. A new perspective. Born in the heart of the subcontinent and aged across India’s tropical belt, Otherside Whiskey embraces the land’s extremes— where relentless heat, monsoons, and shifting seasons create a whiskey with depth, intensity, and unmistakable identity. This whiskey’s distinct profile is elevated by its Solera Finish in charred ex-bourbon barrels—a meticulous process that layers complexity and depth, layering complex flavors into a singular expression.
Otherside Whiskey captures the bold essence of its origins, breaking the monotony of scotch and scotch like brands and offering a new perspective on this timeless spirit. This isn’t Scotch, it’s not Bourbon, and it’s definitely not business as usual. The result? A spirit as dynamic and unique as the country itself.
“Whiskey is a crowded room,” says Rahul Mehra, CEO and Co-founder of Third Eye Distillery. “The impact of our climate, geography, and aging makes this a whiskey that can only come from here, redefining India’s provenance in whiskey making. For too long, Scots have set rules for whiskey and it’s about time India starts writing its own story. We have taken the time to create a whiskey that truly puts India front and centre—not just in name, but in representation.”, he added.
Otherside isn’t about labels or legacy—it is unbound by the whiskey you think you know. It’s as much about what’s in the glass; as it is about where it can take you. This is a whiskey that goes with where you go – drink it your way, because that’s the only way that matters.
Available in Goa at 2100/- and in Maharashtra at 3250/- INR.
