Hobsons XR Pure French Grape Brandy is an exceptional, premium domestic brandy crafted by Radico Khaitan. Blended with select imported French grape brandies (eaux-de-vie) and matured in oak casks, it offers a remarkably smooth and sophisticated palate. Pours a beautiful deep copper-gold color with a bouquet of sweet sun-ripened grapes, warm vanilla, and subtle oak spices. On the palate, it delivers a velvety texture with layers of honeyed raisins, dried figs, and warm wood spice, culminating in a long, satisfying, and smooth finish at a standard 42.8% ABV.

India
The subcontinent has evolved into a global powerhouse of premium spirits, blending ancient distillation heritage with state-of-the-art master craftsmanship. From high-altitude Himalayan spring waters to coastal barrels in Goa, India's intense tropical climate accelerates oak extraction and barrel aging dynamically. This creates bold, robustly complex, and deeply spiced spirits with rich profiles in a fraction of the time required in cooler European climates.
