OAKSMITH NAGOMI: A New Pinnacle in Premium Whisky

Suntory Global Spirits’ signature expression, Oaksmith Nagomi, marks a quiet revolution in Oaksmith’s pursuit of crafting world-class whiskies. The brand’s most premium offering yet, Oaksmith Nagomi is poised to bring the finest Japanese craftsmanship to discerning Indian consumers looking to elevate their experience beyond premium IMFL and into the realm of refined Scotch alternatives. 

“With Oaksmith Nagomi, we are not just introducing a new expression; we are reaffirming our commitment to elevate the Indian whisky segment,” said Rishi Walli, Senior Director – Marketing & IMFL Brands, Suntory Global Spirits.

Japanese Precision 

Carefully crafted by legendary Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo, Nagomi avoids any artificial flavours. Combining aged Scotch malt whiskies, smooth American Bourbon, and precise Japanese artistry, the whisky has an exceptional depth, smoothness, and elegance.

From its intense golden hue to aromas of smoke, spice, and ripe fruit, the whisky opens with warm malt on the nose and unfolds gently on the tongue, revealing layers of honey, vanilla, and spice. The finish is bright, smooth, and surprisingly long, a lingering invitation to pause and savour.

Fuelling Aspiration

Oaksmith Nagomi appeals to a rising class of consumers who seek more than just a drink; they crave authenticity, innovation, and global sophistication.

“Nagomi, inspired by the Japanese ethos of harmony and balance, is a whisky crafted for those who seek a fresh expression of aspiration. It also represents our dedication to blending global excellence, heritage, and authenticity, creating distinctive, high-quality whiskies that offer a premium experience with a truly international spirit. This launch marks the next chapter of Oaksmith’s journey where our Japanese legacy creates something more elevated for the evolving tastes of India,” added Rishi.

The new expression is currently available in Goa and West Bengal, with launches planned in Maharashtra and Telangana later this year. It is positioned in the ₹1,100-2,100 price range.
