Kadamba Single-malt wins award in US
The modern whisky boom has demonstrated time and again that world class examples of the liquid can hail from all corners of the globe. If you want exceptional single malt, for example, you no longer need to rely on Scotland. Notable offerings now flow out from every corner of the world including Goa, India. Kadamba Indian single-malt has recently bagged 'Gold' at 2025 ASCOT Awards—a yearly competition in America. 'We're ecstatic to receive Gold award from an organization as highly regarded as the ASCOT Awards,' says Dr Mohan Krishna Balivada, founder of Cheers group and world's first alco-bev marketing doctorate. ASCOT (American Spirits Council of Tasters) Award judges are trained, experienced, long-time spirits professionals. Entries are blind-tested and graded based on a series of criteria relating to appearance, aroma, taste, and finish. By receiving the 'Gold' winner distinction from the judges, Kadamba Single-malt whisky has advanced towards globally recognized whisky, once again. 'This recognition inspires our team to continue creating innovative Single-malt whiskies that top the exceptional spirits globally. We believe that creating world-class single-malt whiskies are as much an art as a science,' says Ashwin Balivada CEO of Cheers group who mastered Business Management from Cambridge University UK. Valued at Rs 850 crore, Cheers Group has won over 250 national and international awards for its luxury spirits portfolio, including the acclaimed Kadamba Single Malt series and Scotch offerings - such as Labrodog 12-Year-Old and Labrodog Decade Scotch whisky. The ASCOT Awards honors distillers and marketers globally whose work is truly exceptional and deserving of industry recognition. The awards are divided into Marketing + Design and Taste Competitions. Kadamba Indian single-malt whisky was hugely praised by the judging panel at the ASCOT Awards 2025, many of the judges chose this as their favorite.

‘Now is the time to move away' – Ascot drops Ladies' Team from Shergar Cup for new Asia squad
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ASCOT bosses have dropped the famous Ladies' Team from the Shergar Cup - and replaced it with a squad from Asia. Chiefs said 'now is the time to move away' from having a separate side for women. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Jockey Hayley Turner (right) sprays team-mate Emma-Jayne Wilson after the now-defunct Girls Team win the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup at Ascot Credit: Alamy Trailblazing jockey Hollie Doyle said the decision was a 'nice reminder' that men and women compete on equal terms in racing. The popular Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup is one of Ascot's biggest meetings and this year's renewal on August 9 will have £500,000 up for grabs. Recently-retired Hayley Turner was the face of the ladies-only team, which had won four of the past six Shergar Cups. Turner, who announced her pregnancy in her retirement statement, snatched the title in dramatic fashion last year with a short-head victory on New Image in the final race. But it's all change for 2025, with the ladies' team axed and a new Asian contingent in its place. Japanese jockey Ryusei Sakai will be the 'star attraction' thanks to his association with Forever Young, the world's highest-rated horse. He will be joined by Mirai Iwata, dubbed the 'rising star' of Japan's jockey league, while Suraj Narredu from India will captain the team. They will wear red silks, replacing the pink of the ladies. Doyle will captain the Great Britain and Ireland squad, while there will also be teams from Europe and the Rest of the World. Doyle, who recently became Britain's most successful female jockey, said: "The Ladies' Team over the years has had great success, but the new changes that have been made, which include integrating the male and female jockeys on the same team, is a nice reminder that we as jockeys complete on a level playing field internationally." While Nick Smith, Director of Racing and Public Affairs at Ascot Racecourse, said: "We're pleased to have secured top talent from across the world to compete at the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup with at least eight different countries set to be represented already. "We feel now is the time to move away from a ladies-only team, and this new evolution of the format keeps the event fresh."

Newsboy's horse racing tips for Wednesday's meetings in the UK and Ireland, including Ascot Nap
Newsboy reckons his Nap, Duran, is the hit of the day at Ascot in the 3.23 and he also rates Unquestionable in the 1.40 DURAN can hit the right note in the 40th Anniversary Handicap (3.23) over five furlongs at Ascot. Nigel Tinkler's sprinter had a profitable campaign as a three-year-old, winning three times. His final run of the season can be overlooked, when eighth of 17 at York in October, having had to negotiate a bad draw. But the son of Invincible Spirit returned from a six-month layoff in good form two weeks ago, when a length second to Northern Spirit at Beverley. He looks sure to come on from that run, and having Tom Marquand in the saddle is an added bonus. UNQUESTIONABLE looks the answer in the Paradise Stakes (1.40) over a mile. Previously with Aidan O'Brien, the four-year-old is a high-class colt. In his juvenile year, the son of Wootton Bassett chased home Rosallion when a length second in the Group 1 Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere, before storming home to win the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita. His three-year-old season never really got going, having finished fourth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, on both occasions behind Rosallion, who is now his stablemate at the Richard Hannon yard. He has not been seen on a racecourse since, so this Listed event will be a good reintroduction and with Ryan Moore booked to ride, he has every chance to make the winner's enclosure.
