Whiskey is one of the all-time favorite hard liquor served in business meetings and casual gatherings. In an estimate, it has been proven that whiskey lovers are more in this world when compared to the consumption of other liquors.
In India, the whiskeys that are mainly available in the liquor shops come from foreign countries and have different variances of taste and effects. But do you know that India has three main brands at present producing single malt whiskeys, which have very different flavor notes and costs?
The Rampur Single Malt- Kohinoor of Single Malts
Rampur Distillery & Chemical Company Ltd now known as Radico Khaitan Ltd. (RKL) is an IMFL (Indian Made Foreign Liquor) brand producing one of the finest single malt whiskey, The Rampur Single Malt also known as the Kohinoor of the Single Malts. This brand has reached 60 countries which include Canada, the USA, Africa, the Middle East, etc.
The Rampur Distillery & Chemical Company was established in 1943 at Rampur, Uttar Pradesh.
The company was saved from its losses when Khaitan industries took it under their wings. At that time in India, Scotch used to come from Scotland and there were no Scotch blended whiskeys available in the country. The first whiskey that this brand launched was the 8 PM whiskey which expected a low turnover. Then after facing many hurdles and financial problems the company launched The Rampur Single Malt, which became a huge success because of its much-refined taste and texture.
Now, this brand produces not only whiskey but also other beverages like vodka, gin, brandy, and rum. our favorite Magic Moments Vodka is from this brand.
