Sula Vineyards, a leading wine producer, has taken a step further into the world of spirits by launching its first whisky – Eclipse.
Cognac cask aged, the product embodies the exceptional French spirit making heritage and the expertise of the company in selecting the best Indian grapes. Premium quality Scotch and grains go in to the produce of the new launch. The ‘Malt Scotch’ is from Scotland. Five-year-old peated malt spirit goes in to the blend.
According to a press release issued by the company, the product is made with a touch of grape spirit which is double distilled using a traditional French distillation process. The liquor is aged in ‘Limousine Oak Cask’ under the supervision of the company’s master blender Yogesh Mathur. The result is a whisky of exceptional smoothness with character of dried fruit, spices and vanilla, as per the company.
Mathur said, "It has been a meticulous task but was worth all the efforts! Our blending team has worked together to create a blend which gives a sweetness and ease on the palate accompanied by a fruity and smoky smooth finish that is traditional yet modern at the same time.”
Cecilia Oldne, global brand ambassador, Sula, added, “There is a reason to why our very first whisky was given the name Eclipse. The beautiful solar eclipse represents auspicious beginnings and enhances opportunities in life. It's a big thing for us at Sula to enter the world of whisky and we're super excited about it!”
The product is available in 750 ml bottles. It is priced at Rs 1,395 in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Rs 1,250 in Delhi and Rs 790 in Pondicherry. In Goa, Daman and Silvassa, it retails at Rs 750 and is available across leading outlets.
