The Rampur Asava 45% 700ml is a distinguished single malt whisky from India, crafted by Radico Khaitan Ltd. This exquisite whisky is distilled in the picturesque foothills of the Himalayas, benefiting from the region's extreme climate conditions that accelerate the aging process. The whisky undergoes a unique maturation journey, starting in ex-bourbon casks before being transferred to ex-Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks sourced from a boutique winery in Maharashtra, India. This dual cask aging imparts rich berry and baking spice flavors, creating a complex and layered profile. The name "Asava" is inspired by the Hindi word for wine, aptly reflecting its intriguing aging process. Bottled at a robust 45% ABV, Rampur Asava reveals an enticing nose brimming with honeysuckle, lychee, and tobacco. On the palate, it delivers vibrant notes of orange zest, green bananas, cinnamon, clove, marmalade, savory malt, and sweet lychee. The finish is long and lingering, with memorable hints of black pepper. Presented in an elegant metal case, Rampur Asava not only offers an extraordinary tasting experience but also stands as a captivating addition to any whisky collection.
