Monarch Legacy Puts Indian Brandy on the Global Map
Tilaknagar Industries Ltd. (TI) has shattered industry expectations with a historic global win — Monarch Legacy Edition has become the first Indian brandy to clinch an award at the London Spirits Competition 2025. Debuting with a bronze medal in the fiercely competitive brandy category, Monarch isn’t just celebrating a win — it’s rewriting the future of Indian brandy.
Crafted with a refined blend of French and Indian grape spirits, Monarch Legacy is India’s only 100% pure grape luxury brandy. This global recognition isn’t just a feather in the cap for Tilaknagar Industries — it’s a powerful statement that Indian brandy is ready to step into the international spotlight.
A Rare Honour in a Global Arena
The London Spirits Competition, held annually in the UK, is one of the most prestigious judging platforms in the global spirits industry. What sets it apart? A triple focus: taste, packaging, and value — judged by a panel of world-class bartenders, retail buyers, and industry influencers. Over 500 entries from 30+ countries competed this year, including powerhouses like France, Spain, and Australia. Monarch’s medal win marks a turning point — not just for the brand, but for the entire Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) segment.
Brandy, India’s second-largest IMFL category, has long been ripe for disruption. Monarch Legacy is leading that charge.

Marketing Manager Sanaya Dahanukar added, “In a category dominated by legacy players, Monarch’s global win signals that India is no longer just participating — we’re here to lead.”
Monarch Legacy Edition isn’t just a brandy. It’s a bold new benchmark for India’s spirits industry.
