Som Distilleries shares in the last one year has given a multibagger returns to its investors as the stock jumped more than 2.5 times or 166 per cent during the said period as compared to over four per cent rise in the Nifty50 index.

Year to date, the counter has jumped almost 45 per cent against more than a three per cent fall in the benchmark index.
