If you enjoy single malt whisk(e)y but only drink single malt Scotch whisky, Japanese whisky, and even American single malt whiskey, you’re really limiting yourself. That’s because you’re completely leaving out a growing area of the single malt whisky world. Of course, I’m talking about Indian single malt whisky.

Lucky for you, you can easily remedy this. There are a handful of brands producing high-quality Indian single malt whiskies. One of the best is Rampur, which just announced the official launch of its popular Rampur Barrel Blush Indian Single Malt Whisky in the U.S.

Rampur Barrel Blush Indian Single Malt Whisky

Rampur

Like all of Rampur’s single malt whiskies, this expression is produced at the Rampur Distiller in Northern India, which is located near the base of the Himalayas. It gets its name because it’s first matured in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in Australian Shiraz wine casks. The result is a multi-layered, balanced, memorable whisky.

According to Rampur, it begins with a nose of tropical fruits, floral notes, malty undertones, oak, vanilla, caramel, toffee, dried fruits, gentle spices, and dark berries. The palate is a symphony of flavors, including vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, blackberries, plums, and gentle spices. The finish is long, lingering, and warm with vanilla, oak, spices, and wine-like fruity notes.

“The growing demand for premium spirits in the U.S. has inspired us to introduce another exceptional expression of Rampur Indian Single Malt Whisky,” Mr. Sanjeev Banga, President of International Business at Radico Khaitan, said in a press release.

“As American consumers continue to seek unique and high-quality offerings, we are excited to meet this demand with Rampur Barrel Blush. This launch not only reflects our commitment to innovation but also positions Rampur as a key player in the U.S. whisky market.”

Dobel Tequila

If you didn’t know it already, all tequila is mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila. This is because the umbrella term for all agave-based spirits is mezcal. That said, the innovators at Dobel Tequila recently announced that it would bring mezcal and tequila together in one unique, ultra-limited-edition expression.

Up your American single malt whiskey game with Minden Mill’s single estate whiskey

Minden Mill has a new American single malt whiskey perfect for Scotch drinkers

Minden Mill

As if you needed a reason to get into American single malt whiskey, the distillers at Minden Mill Distilling just announced the release of Minden Mill American Single Malt Whiskey. Made from locally sourced ingredients near the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the Nevada desert, this is about as far away from Scotland as possible. Yet, you won't find many American single malt whiskeys that taste more like their counterparts from across the pond.
Minden Mill American Single Malt Whiskey

This terroir-driven whiskey is made with 100% estate-grown barley malted on-site. It's mashed with M1 yeast and water from the brand's well outside the distillery. It's distilled in dual, all-copper Forsyth stills crafted in Speyside, Scotland. It's matured for five years in a combination of Oloroso sherry, ex-bourbon, and American oak as well as re-charred wine and sherry butts. All in climate-controlled barrelhouses designed to mimic the temperature and humidity found in Speyside.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ultra

This isn't your average limited-edition Scotch whisky. Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ultra is a one-of-its-kind, highly innovative expression. That's because, at just 6.3 ounces, it's the world's lightest 700ml bottle. It's made using new, patented glass technology created by Diageo's design team. The result is not only a lighter bottle but one with lower carbon and a sleek design.
