If you’re not up on global whisky, you might not realize that more than a few exceptional, award-winning whiskies are coming out of India. We’re talking about Rampur, Amrut, and Paul John. Another brand to keep an eye on is Royal Tiger. Mainly because the Goa, India-based distillery just launched two new expressions.

The two expressions are called Royal Tiger Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt and Royal Tiger Maharaja Single Malt, and they’ve already begun to rack up awards, including Double Gold at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Royal Tiger’s whiskies are made using local grains at the foothills of the Himalayan Mountain range. The water comes from a natural spring on master distiller Craig Henriques family estate.

Sherry Cask Single Malt

This complex, nuanced single malt whisky is matured in three different barrels: a traditional oak barrel, a charred American oak barrel, and sherry casks imported from Spain. The result is a sublime whisky with flavors like toffee, vanilla beans, dried fruits, and sherry sweetness.

Maharaja Single Malt

One of the oldest Indian-made whiskies available today, Maharaja Single Malt, was matured for ten years in oak barrels before being finished in charred American oak barrels. This created a memorable sipping whisky with notes of dark chocolate, vanilla beans, cardamom, coffee, and a light tropical fruit flavor.

Food Network star, "Top Chef" winner, and Michelin star recipient Michael Voltaggio is just as well-known for his culinary work as he is for the tattoos that cover his body. Since he's also a fan of tequila, it only made sense that he would release a tequila inspired by his love for the artistry of tattooing.
Marcado 28 Tequila

It's called Marcado 28, and Voltaggio collaborated with Spirits & Wines That Rock to create two tequilas: a small batch of Blanco and Reposado. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, these tequilas are known for their agave sweet-forward flavor profile.
