Radico Khaitan's Rampur Asava Indian Single Malt Whisky has been awarded the Best World Whisky in the 2023 edition of the prestigious John Barleycorn Awards.
In 2023, the IMFL-made whisky became the only Indian whisky brand in the Top 100 Premium Wine and Spirits Brands of the World 2023.
Rampur Asava will soon be available for Whisky aficionados in the Indian domestic market. Elaborating on this award, Rampur Asava’s quality and unique characteristics were highlighted by the John Barleycorn Awards.
“Rampur’s innovative approach to the ageing process distinguishes it from other world whiskies.
The Himalayas provide polar opposite climate conditions throughout the year with the flavour of the famous Indian Summer giving Rampur an added dimension and depth. The malt interacts extensively with the cask, resulting in maturation almost four times faster than in Scotland,” a wire feed read.
“Our position as possibly the only Indian company in the industry with products such as Rampur Indian Single Malt Whisky, Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin and Sangam World Malt Whisky in the super-luxury space, alongside international alcohol companies is testament to their quality,” Sanjeev Banga, President of International Business at Radico Khaitan Ltd said.
“The global availability of our products, coupled with the admiration and recommendations from top experts including this latest achievement in the John Barleycorn Awards, stands as proof of our unwavering commitment to product quality and consumer satisfaction,” Banga added.
In emphasising the global significance of Indian whisky, Kunal Madan, Vice President of International Business at Radico Khaitan added, “India commands a staggering 48 percent share of the global whisky market.
