Ancient Wisdom, Modern Flavour. Desi Daru is a modern Australian adaptation of an ancient recipe originally prepared for the Maharaja of Patiala. With ancient roots in the Indian countryside, it is no ordinary spirit. Requiring a delicate, respectful process, Desi Daru was perfected after more than 20 challenging attempts by our Master Distiller. Its impressive list of ingredients all have medicinal properties, and we allow it rest undisturbed for at least 1 week before it is bottled by hand. It is our privilege to offer this unique cultural fusion for our friends.
