Rampur Double Cask Whisky Wows The Whisky Show!

Rampur Double Cask

Radico Khaitan’s Rampur has launched a new expression: Rampur Double Cask Indian Single Malt Whisky.

Now available online, exclusively from The Whisky Exchange

Launched with great success at the recent Whisky Show in London it is now available online, exclusively from The Whisky Exchange.

Rampur Double Cask Single Malt is a hand crafted single malt whisky matured in hand-selected American Bourbon barrels as well as European Oak Sherry casks chosen by Master Distiller, Anup Barik, who brings his decades of experience and expertise to the creation of this fine Double Cask Single Malt.

Produced in India’s oldest distillery, located in the foothills of the Himalayas, this super premium whisky combines tradition with innovation.

Distilled in traditional copper pot stills, the malt matures for two-thirds of its life in handpicked American Bourbon Barrels and a third in European Oak Sherry Casks at India’s largest distillery and is then non-chill-filtered and bottled at 45%.

The combination of Rampur’s unique distilling and the double cask maturation process, sees this luxury Single Malt taking traditional Indian heritage and rooting it in contemporary culture.

Rampur’s distillation expertise sees the launch of this Double Cask Single Malt next to its signature Single Malt as well as it’s limited edition PX Sherry finished Single Malt.

Rampur’s Whiskies are a touch of understated luxury and the Double Cask is no different. It is presented in an embossed sand and copper drum, reflecting the brand’s heritage.

Rampur Double Cask Indian Single Malt Whisky – 70cl bottle, 45% ABV: £54.95.

Rampur Signature Reserve – Sold Out!

Palate: Sensual elegance of sweet fruits riding on rich sherry

Finish: Tantalisingly long, lingering and generous.
