Tilaknagar Industries, in collaboration with Fairmac Shipstores, have introduced the new brandy expressions. 

Travellers passing through Hyderabad International Airport have a new reason to linger a little longer at Duty Free, as Tilaknagar Industries, in collaboration with Fairmac Shipstores, has rolled out two standout expressions from its brandy portfolio – the ever-popular Mansion House Brandy and the ultra-premium Monarch 100% Pure Grape Brandy – Legacy Edition.

The launch signals a strong push into the global travel retail segment for Tilaknagar Industries, one of India’s most respected homegrown spirits companies.

Known for its craftsmanship and commitment to quality, the brand now aims to ensure that “you won’t miss your favourite drink wherever you go.”

Speaking at the launch, Amit Dahanukar, Chairman and Managing Director of Tilaknagar Industries, said the move is about both nostalgia and ambition. “The exclusive launch of Mansion House and Monarch at Hyderabad Duty Free is a testament to our commitment to delivering India’s favourite brandy to the travel retail sector,” he explained. “These brands have been cherished by consumers across segments for decades, embodying both craft and innovation. We are thrilled to introduce them to global travellers as part of a memorable experience that keeps the spirit of nostalgia alive.”

Dahanukar also expressed gratitude to Hyderabad Duty Free for the partnership, adding that the launch “continues to strengthen Tilaknagar Industries’ legacy in the premium spirits category while taking forward the rich heritage of Indian brandy onto a global platform.”

If Mansion House Brandy evokes a sense of familiarity among Indian consumers, its luxury sibling, Monarch – Legacy Edition, aims to intrigue and impress. The 100% pure grape brandy is crafted from Ugni Blanc and Nashik white grapes, blending French grape spirits aged up to 8 years and Indian grape spirits from Maharashtra, double distilled in traditional copper pot stills and aged in a combination of French oak and ex-red wine casks, resulting in a rich, nuanced expression.

Sanaya Dahanukar, who leads Tilaknagar’s luxury spirits portfolio, sees Monarch as both a tribute and a leap forward. “For decades, the people of Southern India have shown immense affection for Mansion House. This enduring legacy continues to inspire us, and we are delighted to extend the MH tradition into a new chapter,” she said.

“With the growing nostalgic demand we often encounter from travellers in Hyderabad and beyond, we are proud to introduce Monarch – Legacy Edition, a 100% pure grape brandy meticulously crafted to honour and elevate the Mansion House heritage,” she continued. “This release promises to offer connoisseurs a distinctive Indian brandy that stands proudly beside global icons, while carrying forward the spirit of Mansion House to travellers everywhere.”

Positioned as a homegrown alternative to traditional Cognac and European brandies, Monarch – Legacy Edition underlines the growing sophistication of India’s premium spirits industry. Both Mansion House and Monarch are now prominently featured at Hyderabad Duty Free, giving departing travellers a taste of Indian heritage.

As Sanaya Dahanukar summed up, “We truly believe our esteemed travellers will embrace Mansion House and Monarch – Legacy Edition as companions to their memorable journeys. Cheers!”
