Mohan Meakin –
Indian distilling tradition since the 19th century
Mohan Meakin Limited is one of the oldest spirits companies on the Indian subcontinent. What began in the 19th century as a brewery in the foothills of the Himalayas has developed over generations into one of the best-known houses for whiskey, rum, and beer in India — with roots that reach deep into the country's colonial brewing history.
The distillery in Kasauli, founded in 1820 by Edward Dyer, is considered one of the oldest operating distilleries in Asia. Mohan Meakin took over the legacy and consistently continued it: artisanal production methods that, despite industrial scale, are oriented towards classic methods. The house's best-known whiskey, excluding Old Monk Rum, is Solan No. 1 — a distillate that enjoys cult status in India.
Anyone who wants to get to know Indian spirits beyond the big international brands will find an honest entry point at Mohan Meakin: no forced modernity, but a style that has grown from the history of the house. Suitable for an evening where curiosity is the focus — neat, on ice, or as a base for a classic highball.
