Radico unveils final expressions of Rampur Jugalbandi

Radico Khaitan has unveiled the final two editions of its celebrated Rampur Jugalbandi series named Rampur Jugalbandi #7 and #8, at the TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes 2025, marking the crescendo of its eight part limited edition Indian Single Malt collection.

Launched in 2022, the Jugalbandi series released two expressions each year, inspired by the Indian classical art form of jugalbandi, a creative duet where two soloists blend contrasting styles in harmony. Similarly, each whisky has paired distinct cask influences to achieve balance and artistry. Born at the historic Rampur Distillery, the series reflects over 80 years of Indian whisky-making heritage.

Rampur Jugalbandi #7 aged in ex-bourbon and mizunara casks, is described as a “whisky of contrast and harmony,” weaving together tropical fruits, vanilla, sandalwood, green tea and cherry blossom for an oriental finish. Rampur Jugalbandi #8, matured in ex-bourbon and sherry PX casks, is bold and indulgent, layering dried fruits, fig jam, dark chocolate and warm spices for a luxurious and dessert-like experience.

Speaking on the launch, Sanjeev Banga, President, International Business, Radico Khaitan, said, “Our vision has always been to take India’s finest to the world. The Jugalbandi series represents that spirit, and with the final editions unveiled at TFWA Cannes, we are proud to present the pinnacle of this remarkable journey. Today, as global consumers show a growing preference for premium and craft whiskies, Rampur stands as a living example of India's ability to produce single malts of the highest possible standard.”

Echoing this sentiment, Kunal Madan, Sr. Vice President-International Business, added, “Every Jugalbandi release has been about creating harmony between two casks. With #7 and #8, we bring this symphony to a close, reflecting the depth and elegance of Rampur Indian Single Malt. These final editions also showcase the richness of flavours, from delicate tropical and floral notes to bold, indulgent layers that have defined the journey of Jugalbandi.”

The last two editions of Jugalbandi series will be rolled out in select international markets and global travel retail, starting November 2025.
