An ode to India’s spices, Stranger & Sons is the debut spirit from Third Eye Distillery—an independent distillery planted in Ponda, Goa (that also plays spiritual home to Stranger & Sons). The recipe details 9 Indian botanicals, the majority of which are sourced from farms along the Malabar and Konkan Coast and give it its distinctly robust flavour.
Stranger & Sons celebrates contemporary India and its cultural diversity – the colours, the customs, the chaos and the peaceful co-existence of it all.
The ‘Stranger’ in the name is a nod to this wonderful Indian strangeness and the ‘& Sons’ is the common suffix of traditional Indian family-owned businesses that are inherited by each new generation. Launched by three family members, Stranger & Sons is a tribute to these inherited businesses and the entrepreneurial spirit inherent in most Indians.
Stranger & Sons is robust with generous flavours, freshness from Gondhoraj, oranges and spice from pepper and coriander with mace.
