New Delhi: Radico Khaitan Ltd on Sunday said two of its flagship offerings—Rampur Barrel Blush Indian Single Malt Whisky and Rampur Asava Indian Whisky—won Gold medals at The Fifty Best World Whisky Tasting 2025, a globally recognised blind-tasting competition held in New York.
The awards were decided by an international jury of journalists, spirits professionals, retailers and mixologists through a blind evaluation process, where whiskies are judged solely on quality and character. The double gold places Rampur among a select set of world whiskies recognised for craftsmanship and consistency.
“This recognition reinforces our belief that Indian single malts today stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s finest,” said Abhishek Khaitan, managing director of Radico Khaitan. He added that the win validates the company’s long-term effort to build Rampur as a globally credible brand rooted in Indian provenance.
Sanjeev Banga, president – international business, said accolades from global blind tastings carry particular significance as they are driven purely by the quality of the spirit. He noted that the awards would support Radico Khaitan’s strategy to expand distribution, strengthen brand storytelling and scale Rampur as a long-term player in the world whisky category.
Rampur Indian Single Malt has been steadily expanding its presence across key overseas markets, gaining traction with premium retailers and whisky connoisseurs. The latest recognition adds momentum to Radico Khaitan’s broader premiumisation and international expansion plans, even as Indian single malts increasingly gain acceptance on the global stage.
Radico Khaitan is among India’s largest spirits companies, with brands available in over 100 countries and a portfolio spanning whisky, rum, gin, vodka and brandy
