Description

Rampur 8 Years 2015 First Fill Bourbon New Vibrations Whisky

Welcome to a vibrant journey through the world of Indian whisky with the Rampur 8 Years 2015 First Fill Bourbon New Vibrations. Aged to perfection for 8 years, this unpeated beauty hails from the esteemed Rampur Distillery, founded in 1943 and now owned by Radico Khaitan since 1972. This whisky captures the spirit of India's subcontinent, offering an unexpectedly exotic and aromatic experience. With an annual production of 2.6 million liters of pure alcohol, Rampur has earned a global reputation for its unique take on single malt whisky. The 2015 First Fill Bourbon edition unleashes a whirlwind of lively flavors and aromas that are far from shy. The distillery's wash still (25,000 liters) and spirit still (16,000 liters) provide the ideal setting for distilling this whisky, where traditional methods meet innovation. Resting in first-fill bourbon casks, this whisky develops a broad spectrum of flavors, marrying subtle sweetness with spice and depth.

Production details: Produced in one of India's most notable distilleries, this whisky is crafted using traditional copper pot stills and aged in first-fill bourbon barrels. The hot and humid Indian climate accelerates the maturation process, resulting in a whisky that’s bold, complex, and surprisingly refined at only 8 years old. The casks impart a delicate balance of vanilla and toasted oak to the whisky, while still preserving the more oriental, fruity character that makes Rampur so distinctive.

Serving suggestions: Best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its complex profile, or with a splash of water to open up its exotic notes. Pair it with dried fruits, like figs or apricots, or if you're feeling adventurous, try it alongside a plate of Indian spiced desserts like gulab jamun or a rich almond halwa.

Additional information: This limited edition release offers an unforgettable tasting experience that stands out for its bold flavor profile and alluring aromas. Be sure to get your hands on a bottle while it's still available, as these new vibrations from Rampur are a real treat for whisky lovers looking to explore something truly unique.
