Press Release

Rampur Signature Reserve Single Malt Whisky becomes the most

expensive Indian whisky selling at Rs 5 lakhs per bottle.

  • Last chance to grab a bottle of the oldest Indian Single Malt Whisky available at Hyderabad Airport Duty-Free.
  • A limited release of 400 bottles nearly sold out.

New Delhi, India, April 29, 2024 - Rampur Signature Reserve Single Malt Whisky has achieved a historic milestone as the only Indian whisky selling at Rs 5 lakhs per bottle. This ultra-luxury offering, part of Radico Khaitan's esteemed Rampur franchise, represents the pinnacle of Indian whisky craftsmanship and exclusivity. Out of a limited release of 400 bottles, only two remain, serving as a testament to the exceptional quality and rarity of Indian single malt whiskies.

In commemoration of Rampur Distillery's 75th anniversary, Radico Khaitan introduced a super luxury variant of Rampur Indian single malt whisky to the international market. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail by Radico Khaitan, Rampur Signature Reserve undergoes an elaborate aging process in American Standard Oak Barrels, enduring the challenges of India's diverse climates. It is one of the oldest malts from India. The Master Blender handpicked four distinct casks, which were then transferred to specially chosen PX Sherry Butts from Jerez, Spain, for the final maturation phase. This dedication to precision and excellence sets Rampur Signature Reserve apart as an exceptional expression of Indian whisky artistry.

Each bottle in this limited-edition collection is individually numbered and carries the signatures of Dr. Lalit Khaitan, Chairman, and the Rampur Master Maker, adding a personal touch to its exclusivity.
