Is anyone familiar with a Punjabi spirit called Desi Sharab ?

(Desi, I understand means "indigenous" or for North Indians away from home "from back home", Sharab is Arabic/Turkish and presumably also Punjabi for drink).

The bottle I picked up in an Indian shop in Southall today was actually made in Germany but states "Desi Sharab is a popular spirit in North India. Made from Gurd (sugarcane) and herbs".

It's a fairly decent rhum agricole with a slight and rather pleasant cardamom flavour.

Does anyone know any more about it, who produces it etc ?
