Being India’s priciest and most luxurious whisky to be sold for Rs 5 lakh per bottle, Rampur Signature Reserve Single Malt Whisky has reached a significant milestone. Part of Radico Khaitan’s prestigious Rampur brand, this ultra-luxury offering embodies the highest level of Indian whisky expertise and exclusivity. There are now just two bottles left in an edition of 400, which is proof of the extraordinary calibre of Indian single malt whiskies.
A very luxurious version of Rampur Indian single malt whisky was released onto the global market by Radico Khaitan to celebrate the distillery’s 75th anniversary. Carefully crafted to ensure every last detail, Rampur Signature Reserve is aged in American Standard Oak Barrels for a long time, exposing it to the rigours of India’s several climates. It’s among the oldest malts made in India. Four unique casks were hand-selected by the Master Blender and then placed in carefully selected PX Sherry Butts from Jerez, Spain, for the last stage of maturation. An outstanding example of Indian whisky artistry, Rampur Signature Reserve stands out for its commitment to accuracy and quality. This limited-edition collection features bottles that are individually numbered and personally signed by the Rampur Master Maker and Chairman, Dr. Lalit Khaitan, to further enhance their rarity.
Rampur’s Indian Single Malt Whisky collection offers a diverse price range to suit every enthusiast. Beginning with the Double Gold winner at the San Francisco World Wine & Spirits Awards, Rampur Select at Rs 14,000 per bottle in 2016, it includes the now sold-out PX Sherry variant at Rs 12,000 per bottle and the approachable Rampur Double Cask at Rs 8,500 per bottle in 2018. Leading the range is the prestigious Signature Reserve, priced at Rs 5,00,000 per bottle, launched in 2018. Accompanying it is the Rampur Asava, honoured as the Best World Whisky at the 2023 John Barleycorn Awards, New York, priced at Rs 10,000 per bottle since 2019. Travel Retail exclusive, Rampur Trigun at Rs 17,000 per bottle and the Rampur Jugalbandhi series starting at Rs 40,000 per bottle demonstrate Rampur’s commitment to innovation and diversity in Indian single malt whisky.
Mr. Abhishek Khaitan, Managing Director of Radico Khaitan, expressed his excitement about this milestone, stating, “We are thrilled to announce that the last two bottles of Rampur Signature Reserve, out of the 400 bottles produced, are available exclusively at Hyderabad duty-free. This represents not just a whisky, but a legacy of Indian craftsmanship and heritage, inviting enthusiasts, collectors, and travellers to experience the unmatched quality of Radico Khaitan’s offerings.”
Apart from the opulent Rampur Signature Reserve, Radico Khaitan has selected an extensive assortment of high-quality spirits that are duty-free in Hyderabad. The renowned Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin and Gold edition, the regal Royal Ranthambore Heritage Collection Whisky, the rich and sophisticated Rampur Double Cask Indian Single Malt Whisky, and the distinguished Rampur Asava Indian Single Malt Whisky are all included in this portfolio.
