BENGALURU, August 1, 2025 — With a proud legacy spanning over 80 years, The House of Khodays has firmly established itself as a pioneer and trusted name in India’s spirits industry. Headquartered in Bengaluru and deeply rooted in tradition, the company has played a pivotal role in shaping the modern Indian liquor landscape, setting benchmarks in quality, craftsmanship, and consumer trust.
Founded in 1906, The House of Khodays initially emerged as one of India’s first producers of quality wines and liquors at a time when the concept of fine spirits was virtually unknown to Indian consumers. By introducing premium products to the domestic market, the company not only pioneered the culture of refined alcohol consumption in India but also laid the foundation for a thriving, home-grown beverage industry.
Speaking at a press meet held at the Press Club of Bangalore, Mr. Aditya Khoday, Director of The House of Khodays, reflected on the brand’s illustrious journey. “Ours is not just a business—it’s a legacy. We have always believed in creating spirits that speak to generations, blending tradition with innovation, and crafting experiences that go beyond the glass,” he said.
Among its celebrated portfolio, Hercules Dark Rum and Hercules White Rum have become enduring symbols of the brand’s excellence. These rums are widely appreciated for their rich aroma, smoothness, and versatility, making them favourites not only across Karnataka but also throughout India and in global markets such as the Middle East and Europe.
A particularly distinguished aspect of the Hercules brand is its deep-rooted association with the Indian Armed Forces. Over the years, Hercules Rums have earned the honour of being called “the spirit of the Armed Forces,” becoming a part of military camaraderie, traditions, and celebrations. They stand not merely as beverages, but as emblems of shared heritage, pride, and unity.
Today, the legacy of Hercules continues to thrive among the younger generation. Gen Z consumers have taken to Hercules Dark and White Rums with the same enthusiasm as their predecessors—enjoying them neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation for innovative cocktails. This multi-generational appeal underscores the timeless charm and adaptability of Khodays’ iconic labels.
As the company celebrates eight decades of excellence in spirit-making, it remains deeply committed to honouring its heritage while looking boldly toward the future. With an unwavering focus on quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, The House of Khodays continues to lead the way in crafting memorable experiences for connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.
