Third Eye Distillery is one of the leading innovators in India’s premium craft spirits movement,

founded in 2018 by Sakshi Saigal, Rahul Mehra, and Vidur Gupta with a vision to place Indian

spirits firmly on the global stage. The distillery debuted with Stranger & Sons Gin, a

contemporary expression distilled with nine Indian botanicals that quickly earned international

acclaim, including a Gold Outstanding Medal at the International Wine & Spirit Competition

(IWSC) in 2020, where it was named among the Top 8 Gins in the World.

Since then, Third Eye Distillery has built a portfolio rooted in expression and innovation across

liquid, format, and experience; from collaborative and limited-edition releases such as Perry

Road Peru (with The Bombay Canteen), Trading Tides (with Four Pillars, Australia), and FILTR

(with Subko), to its accessible craft range under Short Story Spirits. In 2025, the company

entered the dark spirits category with Otherside Subcontinental Whiskey, which secured a Gold

medal at The Spirits Business Awards’ Global World Whisky Masters within months of launch.

Continuing its commitment to pushing category boundaries through craft, collaboration, and

storytelling, the launch of Lost & Found Tropical Spiced Rum marks

Third Eye Distillery’s entry into spiced rum, expanding its portfolio with a spirit shaped by India’s

tropical rhythms, ingredients, and evolving cocktail culture, presented through a modern,

globally relevant lens.
