Rampur Jugalbandi #6 Single Malt Indian Whisky 700ml
Named Best World Single Malt at the prestigious John Barleycorn Awards 2025 (USA), Rampur Jugalbandi #6 made history as the first Indian whisky to receive this honour. The John Barleycorn Awards are judged by leading spirits writers and industry veterans, recognizing craftsmanship, innovation, and quality at the highest level
Whisky Background
-
Produced by Radico Khaitan Ltd. at the historic Rampur Distillery, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas—a region whose climate extremes impart unique depth and complexity to the whisky Bottled at cask strength (approx. 55.8% ABV), and curated with select Madeira casks for a bold, opulent character
Tasting Notes
-
Nose: Vibrant floral and citrus aromas layered with tropical fruit—lychee, mango, peach, apricot—and warmed by notes of caramel pineapple, roasted pecan, shortbread, and cinnamon spice
-
Palate: Starts with creamy vanilla, evolving into rich layers of plum, dates, and dark chocolate, underpinned by dried fruits and subtle spice
-
The Madeira cask finish brings complexity and balance—this expression is both bold and refined.
🥃 Why It Stands Out
-
Prestige: The top global single malt award at the John Barleycorn Awards 2025 places it among the world’s elite whiskies
-
Distinctive Craftsmanship: Maturation in Madeira casks in north‑Indian climate brings an uncommon depth and rich complexity not typically found in traditional single malts
-
Series Storytelling: As part of the Jugalbandi series, it captures the harmony of two complementary casks—the “duet” aspect reflected in its name, meaning entwined musical partners
