                                SUPPLY AGREEMENT

This Agreement is dated as of January 1, 2005, between

IRISH DISTILLERS LIMITED an Irish company having its registered office at Bow
Street Distillery, Smithfield, Dublin 7 (hereinafter called Irish Distillers);

CASTLE BRANDS SPIRITS GROUP LIMITED with its principal office at Victoria House,
Haddington Road, Dublin 2 and CASTLE BRANDS (USA) CORP., a Delaware corporation
with its principal office at 570 Lexington Avenue, 29th Floor, New York, NY
10022 (hereinafter collectively called CASTLE BRANDS); and

CASTLE BRANDS INC., a Delaware corporation with its principal office at 570
Lexington Avenue, 29th Floor, New York, NY 10022 (hereinafter called the
GUARANTOR).

WHEREAS, Irish Distillers is in the business of distilling and manufacturing
Irish whiskey;

WHEREAS, Castle Brands is in the business of selling and distributing various
Irish whiskeys and liquers;

WHEREAS, Castle Brands wishes to provide for a regular supply of Irish whiskey;
and

WHEREAS, Irish Distillers is willing to provide such supply of whiskey to Castle
Brands for certain brands specified in Exhibit 1.

In consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and other consideration
hereinafter provided for, the receipt and sufficiency of which is irrevocably
acknowledged, IT IS AGREED as follows:

1.   TERM

     This Agreement shall have effect from 1 January 2005 and be for an initial
     term of ten (10) calendar years commencing on the date hereof and shall
     automatically renew thereafter for successive five (5) calendar year
     renewal terms. Irish Distillers may terminate this Agreement either at the
     end of its initial term or any time during subsequent renewal terms
     provided that Irish Distillers gives Castle Brands not less than two (2)
     calendar years' prior notice of such termination.

2.   PROCEDURE FOR SUPPLYING WHISKEY SPIRITS

     2.1. Castle Brands will notify Irish Distillers by March 31, 2005 and by
          January 31 of each calendar year thereafter as to the quantity of
          whiskey in litres of pure alcohol (LPAs) required during that year
          ("the Specified Amount") for each Brand. Unless agreed to by Irish
          Distillers, these annual Specified Amounts will not exceed the
          quantities opposite each Brand shown on Exhibit I. If the quantity of
          whiskey depleted by Castle Brands throughout any given year ("the
          Actual Amount") for any given Brand does not aggregate to the
          Specified Amount for that Brand, Irish Distillers shall, at the end of
          each year, invoice Castle Brands for
<PAGE>
          the shortfall between the Actual Amount and the Specified Amount. The
          shortfall will be stored by Irish Distillers for collection by Castle
          Brands and Castle Brands will be invoiced monthly for the storage
          costs accrued at Irish Distillers' then current rates for such
          storage.

     2.2. Irish Distillers shall supply the whiskey for the Brands in accordance
          with the samples agreed by the parties. In respect of Knappogue Single
          Malt only, Irish Distillers agrees to make a reasonably sufficient
          number of casks available for sampling by an expert designated by
          Castle Brands to result in the selection of the Specified Amount. Any
          incremental cost incurred by Irish Distillers in connection with
          facilitating the selection process will be billed to, and paid by,
          Castle Brands.

     2.3. The price per LPA shall be as specified for each Brand listed in
          Exhibit 2 and will be increased by the percentage increase in the
          Irish Consumer Price Index for subsequent years or such other index as
          the parties may agree in writing during the term of this Agreement.

     2.4. BRANDS:- means those brands listed in Exhibit 1 and such other brand
          names as shall be agreed by Irish Distillers from time to time.

     2.5. ORDER TIME:- the lead time for having each whiskey consignment
          available for collection shall be 45 days from receipt of order unless
          otherwise agreed by Irish Distillers.

     2.6. DELIVERY:- Castle Brands shall be responsible for all transport, tax
          and other collection costs from Irish Distillers' properties in Fox
          and Geese in Dublin, Midleton in Cork and Bushmills in Antrim.

3.   PAYMENT

     Castle Brands shall pay in full for each order within 30 days of the
     invoice date which invoice date shall be the date of collection of the
     whiskey consignment from Irish Distillers' properties.

4.   TITLE

     Irish Distillers represents and warrants that the whiskey purchased
     hereunder shall, when the purchase price is paid in full by Castle Brands,
     be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, mortgages and charges. Title
     to the various quantities of whiskey purchased hereunder shall irrevocably
     vest in Castle Brands upon transfer of funds representing the applicable
     purchase price, provided that Irish Distillers shall maintain and keep safe
     the casks and whiskey so purchased until the collection date.

5.   FORCE MAJEURE

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither party shall
     be liable to the other for any default hereunder where the same is due to
     causes beyond the control of

                                       2
<PAGE>
     the party in default, including without limitation, fire, flood, act of
     God, strikes, lockouts, stoppage of work, trade disputes and any act or
     omission outside the party's control, provided that any party seeking to
     rely on this provision shall promptly give written notice to the other of
     such cause.

6.   USE/CONFIDENTIALITY

     6.1. Castle Brands shall only sell whiskey supplied by Irish Distillers
          pursuant to this Agreement as premium brand Irish whiskey under the
          brand names previously approved in writing by Irish Distillers and
          must use all whiskey supplied hereunder for approved brands only.

     6.2. During the term of this Agreement and at any time up to two years
          following termination, Irish Distillers and Castle Brands agree not to
          disclose to any third party any information relating to this
          Agreement, except insofar as may be necessary for the proper
          performance of its obligations under this Agreement or to the extent
          that such information is generally available to the public or

          competent jurisdiction or as provided below, and will ensure that its
          employees are aware of and comply with this clause.

     6.3. Irish Distillers agrees that Castle Brands and its designees will have
          the right to view the casks owned under clause 2.1 hereof by Castle
          Brands upon reasonable notice and, so far as possible, said casks will
          be stored together in an area reasonably accessible for viewing.
          Castle Brands will pay Irish Distillers' usual customary storage
          charges in respect of these casks.

7.   TRADEMARKS

     Castle Brands shall not use the name Irish Distillers in connection with
     any marketing or promotion of the Brands or in any manner without the prior
     written approval of Irish Distillers.

8.   AGENCY

     other or a joint venture or partnership among the parties, or authorize
     either party to pledge the other's credit or contract any liabilities on
     the other party's behalf.

9.   ASSIGNMENT

     Neither Castle Brands nor Irish Distillers shall be entitled to assign,
     subcontract, transfer, charge or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or
     the performance of its obligations under this Agreement except with the
     prior written consent of the other.

                       AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SUPPLY AGREEMENT

      Amendment No. 1, dated as of September 20, 2005, to the Supply
Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2005, among Irish Distillers Limited,
Castle Brands Spirits Group Limited, Castle Brands (USA) Corp., and Castle
Brands Inc. ("Supply Agreement").

      WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Supply Agreement in accordance
with the terms set forth below; and

      WHEREAS, Irish Distillers Limited is willing to provide certain consents
in connection with Castle Brands Inc.'s planned initial public offering;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

      1.    Section 1 of the Supply Agreement is amended by substituting the
following language:

            "1.   Term

                  This Agreement shall have effect from 1 January 2005 and
      initially be for a term of ten (10) calendar years commencing from the
      date hereof. At each anniversary of the effective date, an estimate for
      whiskey needs for another year will be added to the bottom of the schedule
      on Exhibit 1. Unless Irish Distillers and Castle Brands cannot agree on
      the quantities for such additional year, the term of this Agreement will
      automatically be extended for one year. Irish Distiller may terminate this
      Agreement at the end of its term."

      2. Sections 22.1 and 22.2 of the Supply Agreement are amended by replacing
the words "initial term or during any renewal terms" with the word "term" and
section 22.1.1 will be eliminated.

      3. In connection with Castle Bands Inc.'s initial public offering, Irish
Distillers agrees to the filing of the Supply Agreement and the inclusion of
additional related information and disclosures, including the proposed
disclosure attached hereto as Exhibit A (or substantially similar disclosure),
in the prospectus and the Registration Statement on Form S-1 to be filed by
Castle Brands Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission and consents to
such disclosure (or substantially similar disclosure) in periodic reports on
Forms 10-K and 10-Q, and any other documents filed or furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission, provided that the consents granted in this
paragraph 3 will cease to apply if Castle Brands Inc.'s registration has not
become effective by June 1, 2006.

      4.    This Amendment shall be governed, construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of Ireland.

      5. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall
have the meaning set forth in the Supply Agreement.
<PAGE>
      6. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

      7. Except as specifically amended herein, the Supply Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of
the date first written above.

KNAPPOGUE CASTLE AND CLONTARF IRISH WHISKEYS

      In 2005, we entered into a long-term supply agreement with Irish
Distillers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard, pursuant to which it has agreed to
supply us with the aged single malt and grain whiskeys used in our Knappogue
Castle Irish single malt whiskey, the Knappogue Castle blend and all three of
our Clontarf Irish whiskey products through December 31, 2014. The supply
agreement includes a ten-year estimate of our supply needs for these five
products, each of which is produced to a flavor profile proscribed by us. At the
beginning of each year of the agreement, we must nominate our specific supply
needs for each product for that year, which amounts we are then obligated to
purchase over the course of that year. The agreement provides for fixed prices
for the whiskeys used in each product, with escalations based on certain cost
increases. The whiskies for the five products are then sent to Terra Limited
where they are bottled in bottles designed by us and packaged for shipment.
