Rampur Asava Cabernet Sauvignon Finish Indian Single Malt Whisky (2020) 70cl

One of the oldest distilleries in India that's situated just east of Delhi, the Rampur distillery was purchased by G.N. Khaitan in 1972 and is currently owned by Radico Khaitan who are one of the largest Indian Liquor companies. As Indian whisky matures much more quickly than Scotch and Irish whiskies, Rampur benefits from a smooth, mellow taste with a long lasting finish.

Tasting Notes

Nose : Honeysuckle opens on the nose, followed by floral lychee and earthy tobacco leaves. Touches of orange zest and green bananas build, as does savoury malt, sultanas and honey-drizzled dates. A hit of sweet spices appears: black pepper, clove, cinnamon and nutmeg, with flashes of sweet crystalised ginger

Palate : Cinnamon and clove break through at the start, quickly followed by tobacco smoke and bitter marmalade. Mocha joins the fray, with floral lychee and savoury malt. Rich fruits peek through – raisins, figs, prunes – alongside an armada of baking

Finish : Black pepper and smouldering tobacco leaves, black cherry and honeyed dates linger long into the finish
