It’s been virtually a decade since Rampur distillery first started exporting Indian Single Malt Whisky, and they’re now beginning to broaden their vary of whiskies. The non-chill filtered Single Malt we are attempting at this time was made fully with Indian Barley produced by the distillery. Curiously, after this whisky was aged in ex-bourbon barrels, it was completed in Shiraz wine casks from Australia. The period of time in casks is undisclosed, however that’s the norm with whiskies popping out of India, the place the nice and cozy climate encourages sturdy interplay between the distillate and the barrel. The packaging deserves notice because the bottle would make a stunning reward, arriving in a silky pink bag inside a whisky tube.
I’m excited to present this whisky a strive. We beforehand tried Rampur Asava, which was completed in Indian Cabernet Sauvignon casks, and loved it very a lot. In full disclosure, I ought to admit that I’m a giant fan of growing older whiskies in crimson wine casks, notably single malts, and I’m delighted to see it taking place extra usually. Let’s pour a glass and provides it a strive.

The palate follows go well with fantastically and introduces further complexity. Light, gratifying cereal grains come first and linger whereas calmly candy honey, vanilla icing, and orange notes take part.
