Radico Khaitan (Rampur Select)

Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, India · 1943'den beri

Rampur Select is a single malt whisky produced at the Rampur Distillery in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, at the foothills of the Himalayas. The distillery traces its origins to 1943, when Radico Khaitan — then known as Rampur Distillery — was established during the twilight of British colonial rule. The region's dramatic climate, with cold winters and intensely hot summers, accelerates the interaction between spirit and oak in ways that differ markedly from Scottish or Japanese counterparts. Rampur Select is matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, yielding a whisky that carries tropical fruit notes, honeyed sweetness, gentle spice, and a rich, creamy vanilla character. The finish is smooth and lingering, reflecting the generous warmth of the subcontinent. As Indian single malts have drawn increasing international attention and critical acclaim, Rampur has positioned itself as one of the flagship expressions of this exciting new chapter in world whisky. Select offers an accessible yet nuanced entry point into the Rampur range.
