Celebrate World Whisky Day with Rampur!
World Whisky Day on the 15th. May is the perfect excuse to try something new, a single malt whisky from India is a great country to start your exciting adventure!
The excellent single malt whiskies produced by Rampur Distillery, which is one of India’s largest and oldest distilleries, has a unique distilling location at the foothills of the Himalayan mountains.
Rampur Asava Indian Single Malt Whisky
This exposes the whiskies to polar opposite climate conditions throughout the year, with the flavour of the famous Indian Summer giving Rampur Whiskies an added dimension and depth. Indian whisky matures significantly more quickly than other whiskies, such as Scotch and Irish Whisky.
I got the chance to sample some of these wonderful whiskies – See my tasting review here!

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.
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%.

Delicate balsamic vanilla notes from the American white oak compliment the full-bodied aroma of tropical fruits, smooth malty tones and oaky notes whilst rich caramel, dried dark fruits and spiced tonality from the European oak add to the depth of flavour.
