Comte de Grasse, a liquor-tech company dedicated to reinventing luxury spirits with a commitment to sustainability, announced the launch of its flagship spirits - 44°N Gin and 06 Vodka Rosé in India. Headquartered in the heart of the world's perfume capital in France, Comte de Grasse was founded in 2017 by visionary entrepreneur Bhagath Reddy.
Comte de Grasse draws inspiration from two traditionally similar industries – perfume and spirits – to pioneer a new era in distillation. With a commitment to sustainability and a focus on modernizing age-old processes, the company combines fragrance science and techniques like ultrasonic maceration, vacuum distillation, and CO2 extraction to segment spirits into distinct flavor categories to create small-batch luxury spirits.
The luxury market in India, including luxury spirits, is being propelled by demand from younger customers and a growing economy. It is slated to expand 3.5X by 2030. Speaking on this Bhagath Reddy, chief executive officer and founder of Comte De Grass said, “Luxury drinks as a segment have relied heavily on age and tradition as a marker for quality and there has been little innovation other than exalted age claims. At Comte De Grasse, we are rooted in science and draw inspiration from the fragrance industry that follows similar distilling methods to spirits. By using science as disruptor for tradition, we aim to pioneer a more modern approach to sustainable luxury spirit production and create distinctive, qualitative spirits that offer a unique experience.”
The distillery
Housed in the iconic 19th-century perfumery, the distillery stands as a testament to Comte de Grasse's commitment to preserving heritage while embracing the future. The earth-red chimney, an emblem of tradition and progress, overlooks the Provençal landscape, symbolizing the merging of legacy and innovation.
