Coveted honour for Rampur Asava

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. The John Barleycorn Awards, known for rewarding excellence in the spirits industry, has recognised the exceptional quality and unique characteristics of Rampur Asava Indian Single Malt Whisky.

Rampur’s innovative approach to the ageing process distinguishes it from other regular whiskies. In this whisky, the malt interacts extensively with the cask, resulting in maturation almost four times faster than in Scotland.

Rampur Asava offers distinctive tropical fruity notes, featuring nuanced notes of apricot, blackberry, and plum that create a harmonious aromatic profile. The nose of the whisky is further enriched with a subtle interplay of tobacco and spices, adding layers of depth to the overall experience. On the palate, this exceptional whisky unfolds with a velvety texture, revealing manuka honey sweetness complemented by the warmth of spicy oak and vanilla. The use of Indian red wine casks imparts a discernible dryness to the whisky, thereby contributing to a masterfully balanced flavour that can easily attract the palate.
