Carew was impressed by the result and bought out the factory with two other investors. Carew hired his younger brother as the manager. His brother died in the Indian Sepoy Mutiny in 1857.[1]
After the mutiny, Carew reopened the distillery with the support of British Army. The company became a joint-stock company in 1897.
