Quarter or full: which is better value?

Price per litre across TASMAC’s whole list, worked out from today’s MRPs.

TASMAC sells most spirits in three sizes: the quarter (180 ml), the half (375 ml) and the full (750 ml). A full holds a little more than four quarters (750 ÷ 180 ≈ 4.2), so the fair comparison is price per litre.

What today’s price list says

Of the 176 bottles TASMAC sells as both a quarter and a full, the full is cheaper per litre for 176, and the same for 0. Buying a full instead of the same volume in quarters saves ₹38 on average.

BottleQuarter ₹/LFull ₹/L
Arabian Pride Deluxe XXX₹778₹747
Black Magic Superior₹944₹907
Mcdowells VSOP₹1,111₹1,067
Carte Royale XO Premium₹1,278₹1,227
MGM Indian Challenge Premium₹1,444₹1,387

Don’t forget the deposit

The ₹10 deposit is per bottle, so four quarters carry ₹40 of deposits against ₹10 for one full. You get it back when you return the empties, but it’s money you hand over at the counter.

When the quarter makes sense

  • You’re trying a brand for the first time.
  • You want two or three different bottles rather than a lot of one.
  • You’re near TASMAC’s 4.5-litre limit for an order placed ahead.

Every bottle page on this site and in the app marks the size with the best ₹ per litre, whenever a bottle comes in more than one size.
