Rampur Jugalbandi #6 Crowned Best World Single Malt at John Barleycorn Awards 2025
Radico Khaitan's Global Winning Streak Continues New Delhi, Delhi, India – Business Wire India Radico Khaitan Ltd., one of the largest homegrown alco-bev companies, continues its winning streak on the global stage. In a stellar achievement for Indian whisky, Rampur Jugalbandi #6 has been named Best World Single Malt at the prestigious John Barleycorn Awards 2025, USA. Adding to the triumph, Rampur Select secured a Double Gold, while Jugalbandi #5 earned Gold in the Indian Single Malt – Tokaji Finish category, reinforcing Rampur's position among the finest in the world. Taking centre stage, Rampur Jugalbandi #6 was awarded Best World Single Malt; aged in rare Madeira casks the liquid is an exploration in bold maturation and flavour depth. Rampur Select was awarded Double Gold in the taste competition under the Single Malt Whisky category for its signature smoothness and fruit-forward character. And Rampur Jugalbandi #5 received a Gold in the Indian Single Malt Whisky – Tokaji Finish category, for its elegant and experimental cask finish, further cementing Rampur's growing legacy in the international whisky landscape. The John Barleycorn Awards are among the most respected honours in the spirits world, judged by leading writers and industry veterans who spotlight craftsmanship, quality, and innovation across categories. Mr. Sanjeev Banga, President – International Business, Radico Khaitan Ltd., said, 'It is truly gratifying to see Indian single malts gaining such remarkable global recognition. Rampur's consistent wins at international platforms mark a meaningful milestone for us. These accolades reaffirm our belief that when whisky is crafted with authenticity, passion, and purpose, it resonates across cultures and continents. We are proud to share this moment with our teams and our consumers who believe in our journey.' Mr. Kunal Madan, Vice President – International Business, Radico Khaitan Ltd., added, 'Rampur Jugalbandi #6 is a testament to our bold and evolving whisky craft. This win places it among the world's finest, reflecting a uniquely Indian story of innovation rooted in tradition. The Jugalbandi series reflects our creative vision, and expressions like Jugalbandi #5 and Rampur Select continue to showcase the versatility and craftsmanship at the heart of Rampur. These recognitions inspire us to keep pushing the boundaries of innovation while staying true to our roots.' For Radico Khaitan, these recognitions reflect a long-term commitment to crafting luxury spirits of international calibre. The secret to Rampur's appeal lies in its Himalayan provenance — the region's seasonal extremes, especially the intense Indian summer, lend the whisky a maturity and complexity that's hard to replicate. Crafted at the historic Rampur Distillery, Rampur Select reflects the warmth of the Indian summer, layered with vanilla, spice, and hints of caramel. Jugalbandi #5, finished in Tokaji casks, marries Indian character with European refinement. Jugalbandi #6, finished in Madeira casks, explores a deeper, more opulent flavour profile — a bold step forward for Indian malts. With growing demand across the United States, Europe, and global travel retail zones, the Rampur portfolio continues to establish new benchmarks for premium Indian whiskies.

Big liquor brands regain market share after excise policy changes in AP
Vijayawada: Many liquor brands that went off the shelves in the last five years have now not only made a comeback but also regained significant market share in Andhra Pradesh. The overall market share of liquor brands owned by multinational companies (MNCs) and brands with a national presence have reached 56% — an increase of more than 150% compared to their presence during the previous YSRCP regime. The market share of lesser-known brands has decreased to just 7%, which used to be 68% during the previous regime. None of the suppliers have more than 20% of the market share. According to excise minister Kollu Ravindra, the reason for the increase in market share of well-established brands is the automated order-placing system. "We are placing orders as per the demand from consumers. We didn't do anything either to favour a particular brand or to prevent any brand from accessing the market in AP. Our system places indents based on the demand and supply mechanism without any manual intervention," explained Ravindra. While MNCs had a negligible presence during the previous regime, a few companies with national presence like Tilak Nagar Industries (8%), Radico Khaitan (6%), and Jagatjit Industries (3%) got a share in the market before the NDA govt came to power in the state in June 2024. The other top 25 brands together had only 11% of the market share. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You Won't Believe the Price of These Dubai Apartments Binghatti Developers FZE Get Offer Undo After the change of policy by the NDA govt in the state, the market share of Tilak Nagar Industries increased to 12%, while that of Radico Khaitan rose to 18%. Pernod Ricard and United Spirits, which vanished from the state during the previous regime, have now gained 7% and 12% market share, respectively. Even the market share of other top 25 brands has increased from 11% to 18% after the NDA govt came to power. Another significant difference, according to Ravindra, is the reduction in illicit liquor. "There has been a remarkable improvement on this front as nine districts have been declared illicit liquor-free. Non-availability of favoured brands is one reason for people to opt for illicit liquor. Operation Navodayam launched against this menace is giving good results, and we are confident of making more districts arrack-free in the coming days," said Ravindra. HIC HIC HOORAY Market share of various companies before and after the new excise policy (in %) MNC Brands United Spirits | 0 to 11.4 Pernod Ricard | 0 to 7.3 Brands with national presence Radico Khaitan | 6.2 to 18.3 Tilaknagar Industries | 8.2 to 11.4 Allied Blenders | 1.4 to 7.7 InBrew | 1.8 to 6.6 John Distilleries | 0 to 6.2 Other Top 25 brands 11.1 to 19.3 Lesser-known brands 68.2 to 7.2 Prices have come down by Rs 10 to Rs 100 on various brands of liquor and beer Excise dept estimates Rs 110 crore savings per month for consumers due to price reduction Prices of 30 brands having a market share of 87% in AP are lower than in Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu
