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.

INDIA's Aurobindo Pharma on Wednesday (20) dismissed media reports suggesting it had finalised a deal to acquire Czech drugmaker Zentiva, calling the claims “premature” and added that no binding agreement has been signed.

If confirmed, this would be the largest-ever overseas acquisition by an Indian pharmaceutical company.
