Alcobrew Distilleries India is one of India's youngest and fastest-growing liquor manufacturers. A dynamic supply chain, established network and exemplary products have led to its impressive growth. The company caters to civil, canteen store depots and institutional markets in liquor, all across India; and abroad.
Alcobrew began its journey with the production of Gruppo Campari's Old Smuggler Scotch Whisky and rum from December 2006 for the Indian market. 2010 marked a momentous occasion for the company as it became the official licensee of Gruppo Campari's Old Smuggler brand in India. By 2012, confident with the expertise gained from working with the international brand, Alcobrew launched White & Blue, its own label in the semi-premium liquor segment.
Encouraged by the product's tremendous success in the market, two years later in 2014, Golfer's Shot from the house of Alcobrew, made its way to the premium liquor segment.
