Sran Spirits. was started by the Sran brothers after being inspired by their father's history of making spirits in his native India. Their flagship product is Daru Whiskey. Daru is an Indian-inspired whiskey with a 100% Canadian corn blend; unlike most Canadian whiskies that have a high-rye content causing them to be spicy, Daru's corn base gives it a uniquely sweet and fruity taste. Aged for a minimum of three years in rare Canadian oak barrels, giving it touches of vanilla throughout. Additionally, Daru also undergoes filtration through activated charcoal, creating a remarkably smooth palate on the finish.
The story begins in the region of Punjab, located in northwest India. The Sran family has settled here for as long as records show, going back as far as the early 1800s. Translating to the “Land of Five Waters”, the Sran family has called Punjab their home for centuries. Surrounded by lush farmland, a unique climate, and an abundant water supply from the nearby rivers, the Sran family settled into the farming sector, where they continue to own acres of vast farmland to this day.
At the turn of the 20th century, their ancestors created a recipe and technique for distilling spirits which they passed down to their father and his siblings. Despite prohibitions imposed by Indian government on alcohol production, their father would nestle deep into the fields of the centuries-old farm in secrecy and use the same time-tested techniques to curate a spirit of his own. This unique and proprietary spirit was not for prominence or profit, but for the sole purpose of entertaining family, friends, and guests.
