Radico Khaitan Limited, a leading Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) company and the parent company of Rampur Distillery, has introduced the newest addition to its single malt collection, the Rampur Barrel Blush, at Whisky Live Paris 2024. Held from September 28-30 at La Grande Halle de La Villette, this event marked the debut of Barrel Blush, which is set to be available across Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States starting in fall 2024.
A New Benchmark in Indian Single Malts
The Rampur Barrel Blush is a premium Indian single malt that showcases Radico Khaitan’s dedication to craftsmanship and innovation. This expression undergoes an initial maturation in American Bourbon barrels, lending notes of vanilla, oak, and spices. It is then finished in Australian Shiraz wine casks, imparting flavors of ripe berries, dark fruit, and a touch of tannins, resulting in a balanced yet bold whisky. With each sip, the Barrel Blush reveals a complex, layered profile that speaks to both tradition and innovation.
Sanjeev Banga, President of International Business at Radico Khaitan, expressed the brand’s commitment to quality: “The release of Rampur Barrel Blush not only highlights our commitment to innovation and excellence but also offers us the opportunity to present our craftsmanship to whisky enthusiasts worldwide.”
Tasting Notes: A Sensory Experience
- Nose: A harmonious blend of tropical fruits, floral notes, malty tones, and oaky richness, with hints of vanilla, caramel, and dried fruits.
- Palate: Elegantly sweet with a blend of fruity and spicy flavors, the Shiraz wine cask finish adds depth and body.
- Finish: Prolonged and memorable, leaving a rich, lingering taste.
The Barrel Blush will retail at approximately $105 and is positioned to appeal to both seasoned whisky aficionados and those new to the world of Indian single malts.
