Rampur Asava Indian Single Malt Whisky

Rampur Asava Indian Single Malt Whisky is a single malt whisky produced at Radico Khaitan's Rampur Distillery situated in the foothills of the Himalayas in Uttar Pradesh, India. Matured initially in American ex-bourbon barrels and finished in casks that previously held Indian Cabernet Sauvignon wine, this non-chill filtered expression harmonizes Rampur's signature tropical fruit and malt character with the subtle tannins and rich fruitiness of Indian red wine.

Food Pairing: Tandoori chicken, grilled lamb chops, spicy Indian curries, roasted duck, aged cheddar, dark chocolate desserts, and dried fruit tarts.

Tasting Notes : Brilliant golden amber with copper hues, featuring a velvety, smooth, and medium-to-full-bodied mouthfeel on the palate.

Nose : Typical tropical fruit aromas of Rampur layered with apricot, blackberry, and plum, followed by a subtle hint of tobacco and warming spices.

Palate : Velvety and balanced with manuka honey sweetness, spicy oak, vanilla, and the structured dryness of Indian red wine.

Finish : Medium-to-long, lingering with warm spice, soft oak, sweet honey, and lingering wine tannins.

Serve : Best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn glass at room temperature, or with a few drops of pure water to release the layered tropical and red wine aromas.
