  <abstract>This internship report provides an overview and a comprehensive guide for the marketing  and production activities of Tukuche Distillery Pvt Ltd and its signature apple brandy. In  terms of marketing significant work was done with the team to perform a SWOT and  market analysis of the company. The purpose was to create a brand presence and  ultimately increase sales. The SWOT analysis revealed that Tukuche Distillery had a  strong brand recognition and reputation with highly experienced distillers catering to a  niche market but lacked severely in digital marketing. The analysis discovered  opportunities to expand to new market, experiment with product innovation,  collaborations, and capitalize on online sales. A market survey conducted revealed  consumer preference for smaller bottles (180 to 380ml) was high as compared to larger  bottles (750ml). The survey further revealed insight on competitors and brand{u2019}s market  position. Thus, based on the research findings a comprehensive digital marketing plan  was designed to launch the brand{u2019}s online presence. A product line extension plan for  180ml bottle was developed to cater to consumer demand and increase sales. Lastly, a  proposal for a distillery tour to expand brand awareness and increase cash flow was  initiated.In terms of production, the author was involved in the step-to-step process of apple  brandy production. The process involved harvesting and sorting of apples, grinding,  fermentation, distilling the brandy, and finally, bottling and labelling the finished product. An analysis of the production process identified shortcomings in harvesting/sorting of  apples, fermentation, and distillation. Possible solutions included: Firstly, for a  guaranteed supply of top-grade apples during harvest, a plan to acquire an orchard was  recommended. Secondly, to control heat during distillation, gas burners were suggested.  Thirdly, to control temperature in the fermentation chamber installing air conditioners  was proposed. Lastly, aging in oak barrels to enhance the overall quality of the brandy was advised. Overall, this internship report was documented to provide valuable insights and recommendations into apple brandy production in the Mustang, Nepal, and the  marketing of such premium alcohol to the domestic and international markets.</abstract>
