When vodka meets tequila, rules disappear. VodQuila by Red Eye Louie’s. Bold smooth and unapologetically different. Some ideas come from long meetings. Others come from long nights.

At ProWine Mumbai, we explored an impressive lineup of bourbons from the USA including Buffalo Trace, Varchas Whiskey, Weller’s Whiskey, Jim Beam, and Devil’s River with its expressive range of Rye Bourbon, Agave Bourbon, Coffee Bourbon, and Pure Bourbon.
