Origin & Production:
Rampur Barrel Blush is a premium Indian single malt whisky crafted at Radico Khaitan’s distillery in Uttar Pradesh, India. This expression is matured in American bourbon barrels before being finished in handpicked wine casks, giving it a unique blush of fruit-driven character. Produced in small batches, the whisky reflects the fusion of Indian climate maturation (which accelerates aging) with traditional Scotch-inspired craftsmanship. The hot and humid conditions of Rampur impart an intense richness to the spirit in a relatively short time, resulting in a bold yet balanced whisky.

Tasting Notes:
On the nose, vibrant aromas of red berries, cherry, and plum mingle with notes of vanilla, honey, and toasted oak. The palate opens with luscious fruit compote, layered with hints of caramel, baking spice, and roasted nuts. Mid-palate, the whisky reveals velvety tannins and soft oak influence, creating a rounded mouthfeel. The finish is long and indulgent, leaving flavours of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and a whisper of spice.

Serving Suggestion:
Enjoy neat in a tulip glass to appreciate its fruit-driven profile. It also works beautifully with a single drop of water to open up the wine-cask influence. Best paired with rich cheeses, charcuterie, or dark chocolate truffles.
