Rampur to launch new Indian single malt in London

INDIAN company Radico Khaitan’s Rampur is launching a new expression, Rampur Double Cask Indian Single Malt Whisky, this weekend (September 28-29) at the Whisky Show in London.

Available from October, Rampur Double Cask Single Malt is a handcrafted single malt whisky matured in hand-selected American Bourbon barrels, as well as European Oak sherry casks, chosen by master distiller Anup Barik.


Distilled in traditional copper pot stills, the malt matures for two-thirds of its life in American Bourbon barrels and a third in European Oak sherry casks, and is then non-chill-filtered and bottled at 45 per cent.

It is presented in an embossed sand and copper drum, reflecting the brand’s heritage.

Rampur Single Malt Double Cask Indian Whisky is owned by Radico Khaitan.

Radico Khaitan was established in 1943 and is the largest Indian beverage alcohol company and one of the oldest whisky distillers in India, where they have been distilling whisky for over 25 years.

Three of its distilleries are based in Uttar Pradesh in the foothills of the Himalayas, where all of Rampur’s Whiskies are distilled, matured, and bottled.

Britain has backed Heathrow Airport's £49bn expansion plan as the basis for building a third runway at the country's busiest hub, rejecting a cheaper alternative proposal from hotel tycoon Surinder Arora.

Transport secretary Heidi Alexander confirmed the decision on Tuesday, with the government stating that Heathrow's blueprint was the "most deliverable option" and provides the greatest likelihood of securing development consent by 2029.

The decision comes after the government announced in January it wanted a third runway built at Heathrow, hoping the major infrastructure project would help drive economic growth and end decades of indecision over the airport's future.
