Coveted award for Godawan 100

Godawan 100, a Collector’s-Edition artisanal single malt crafted by Diageo India, has been crowned the ‘Single Malt Whisky of the Year’ at the prestigious 2024 London Spirits Competition.

This leading international spirits’ competition evaluates spirits based on quality, value and packaging, with assessments made by discerning trade buyers. With 96 points, Godawan 100 topped the score charts in the single malt whisky category from across the world, at this  competition. 

Filip Stribrny, Judge, London Spirits Competition, explained why Godawan 100 stood apart at the competition. “Godawan 100 is a very complex whisky, with rich flavours of dried fruits, sultanas, and dark chocolate. It also has a very balanced flavour profile with a dark, dry finish of oak,” he informed.This win solidifies Godawan’s position as the most awarded Indian single malt brand in 2023-24 with 42 national and international accolades within its brand ambit. Godawan 01 Rich and Rounded and Godawan 02 Fruit and Spice have also been awarded gold medals at the 2024 London Spirits Competition. 

With only 100 bottles available, Godawan 100 is a rare Collector’s Edition single malt that boasts pronounced tropical notes, a light palate and a short finish. Its sweet palate reveals notes of caramel, charcoal, cinnamon and anise, leading to a long, dry finish. 

As India’s first artisanal single malt whisky born out of Rajasthan, Godawan is pushing boundaries in whisky craftsmanship by challenging perceptions and defying traditional whisky production norms.

At the globally renowned Monde Selection Quality Awards in Brussels its 02 Fruit and Spice Expression achieved a Grand Gold Medal and its 01 Rich and Rounded expression earned a Gold Medal.
