Radico’s Sangam World Malt named ‘Spirit of the Year’

Radico Khaitan Ltd. has announced that its flagship premium offering, Sangam World Malt Whisky, has been awarded the title of ‘Spirit of the Year’ at the Bartender Spirits Awards 2025 held in May in Chicago, USA.

This milestone underscores the rising stature of premium homegrown brands in the international spirits landscape. Expressing pride on the occasion, Sanjeev Banga, President - International Business, Radico Khaitan, said, “It’s truly special to see Sangam celebrated by some of the most respected voices in the U.S. bar industry. This recognition is extra special as it celebrates our passion for quality and tradition.”

Crafted for a sophisticated palate, Sangam Malt World delivers a rich sensory journey: layered aromas of ripe tropical fruits, toasted oak and soft spice give way to flavours of caramelised sugar, dried figs, dark chocolate, and a warm vanilla finish with a hint of smoke. “Every element of Sangam has been carefully thought through—from the malts we select to how we age and blend them. This award is a great validation of the effort and creativity behind it,” said Kunal Madan, Senior Vice President – International Business, Radico Khaitan Ltd.

The whisky is currently available in over 40 countries, in global travel retail, and in Indian states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Goa, Karnataka, Chandigarh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra.
