Radico Khaitan debuts two new Indian single malt whiskies
Radico Khaitan has launched the next two whiskies in the Rampur Jugalbandi series of eight cask strength Indian single malt whiskies.
The Rampur Jugalbandi series is a limited edition release at cask strength. The two new whiskies, Jugalbandi #5 and Jugalbandi #6, are produced at Rampur Distillery in the foothills of the Himalayas in India.
Both single malts have been matured in casks selected by master distiller Anup Barik.
Jugalbandi #5 is matured first in American Bourbon barrels and then Tokaji wine casks, while Jugalbandi #6 is matured in Madeira casks. Maturation in the climate of North India gives the whiskies their signature flavour profile.
Radico Khaitan, established in 1943, is the largest Indian beverage alcohol company and also one of the country’s oldest whisky distillers. Three of its distilleries are based in Uttar Pradesh at the base of the Himalayas, where all of Rampur’s whiskies are distilled, matured and bottled.
Anup Barik, master distiller at Rampur Distillery, said of the new releases: “I am proud to have created these latest limited editions in the Jugalbandi series, using the highest quality Madeira and Tokaji casks whilst retaining, at their heart, our classic Rampur Single Malt Whisky profile.”
Rampur Jugalbandi #5 and #6 will be rolling out to the UK, USA, EU, Singapore and Global Travel Retail from October 2024.
The whiskies will debut at The Whisky Show in London (6-8 September 2024).
Sanjeev Banga, president of international business at Radico Khaitan, said of the launch: “There is mysticism about India and our vision is to share the best India has to offer with the world in the beverage alcohol space. Our innovative products are being accepted the world over, exemplifying the rich heritage and exceptional craftmanship that we practice at Rampur Distillery. We are excited to share Rampur Jugalbandi #5 and #6 with whisky aficionados at The Whisky Show.”
