Rampur Asava

Rampur Asava Indian Single Malt Whisky is produced at Rampur Distillery in Uttar Pradesh and matured initially in American bourbon barrels before being finished in Indian Cabernet Sauvignon casks. This distinctive maturation was introduced as the first single malt finished in Indian red wine casks. Bottled at 45% ABV, Asava combines Rampur’s tropical fruit character with dark berries, honey, vanilla, spicy oak and a drying red-wine influence.

Food Pairing: Grilled lamb, tandoori meats, roast duck, aged cheese, dark chocolate, or berry desserts with honey and warming spices.

Tasting Notes: Rich and fruit-forward, balancing tropical fruit and dark berries with honey, vanilla, spicy oak, red-wine dryness and gentle warming spice.

Nose: Tropical fruit leads into apricot, blackberry and plum, accompanied by subtle tobacco and warming spices.

Palate: Velvety and rich, with Manuka honey sweetness complemented by vanilla, spicy oak and the drying influence of Indian Cabernet Sauvignon.

Finish: Generous and lingering, with dark fruit, honeyed malt, warming oak and a balanced red-wine dryness.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature or with a few drops of water to reveal additional fruit, honey and wine-cask character.
