Himmaleh Spirits Distillery
India’s First Traceable Distillery
Inspired by the lush terroir of Uttarakhand and Kumaon’s rich culture, the Himmaleh Spirits Distillery is truly artisanal; drawing on the abundant resources of this terrain, its spirits trace their origins to an ever-growing community of farmers, foragers, and harvesters. Nestled amidst the Himalayan foothills in Kumaon, it is independent and family owned - set up by Ansh Khanna and Samarth Prasad.
Himmaleh Spirits is India’s first traceable distillery. With an aim to encourage consumers to drink better, the duo is committed to shaping not just a legacy of spirits but also a legacy of social and environmental responsibility. The distillery’s hyperlocal approach drives it to only work with regional botanicals, fostering sustainable progress for the region.
The distillery is spread over four acres and will also focus on experiential tours, label tastings, and community experiences. It is home to a one-of-a-kind 1000-litre Hungarian Copper pot still from the world’s most technologically advanced still maker - enabling it to produce one new product every year.
Adopting an earth-friendly distillation process, Himmaleh Spirits Distillery ensures zero liquid and waste discharge across all its processes. It is one of the handful in the world to have its own farming team, closely overseeing the quality of produce.
With a chic, loft-inspired aesthetic, the distillery’s contemporary architecture blends metallic accents with wooden highlights, creating a warm and inviting space. Artisanal craftsmanship is woven into every detail; its walls incorporate locally sourced stones crafted by artisans from the region. The space is thoughtfully curated to strike a perfect balance between indoor and outdoor elements, integrating seamlessly with its picturesque natural surroundings. On clear days, the distillery’s panoramic viewing decks offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
