29th September 2025: Radico Khaitan, one of the largest homegrown alcobev companies has unveiled the final two editions of its award-winning Rampur Jugalbandi series, Rampur Jugalbandi #7 and #8, at the TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes 2025. With this launch, the eight-part limited-edition collection of Indian Single Malts reaches its crescendo, marking a significant milestone for Rampur Whisky on the global stage.
Rampur Jugalbandi series started its journey in the year 2022 with 2 expressions being released every year and now reaches its grand finale with #7 and #8. Each expression has been born at the iconic Rampur Distillery, Asia’s oldest and largest, with over 80 years of heritage. Much like the Indian classical art form of Jugalbandi, where two soloists create magic together, every edition has paired contrasting casks to strike a perfect harmony. The result is a series of whiskies that bring together India’s distinctive character with global influences, crafting a masterpiece in every sip.
Rampur Jugalbandi #7 (Ex-Bourbon & Mizunara Cask): A whisky of contrast and harmony, combining American warmth and Japanese elegance with Indian craftsmanship. Silky and layered, it unfurls with notes of tropical fruits, vanilla, honeycomb, sandalwood, green tea, and cherry blossom, culminating in a long, oriental finish.
Rampur Jugalbandi #8 (Ex-Bourbon & Sherry PX Cask): Bold, indulgent, and dessert-like, this expression exudes luxury. Opulent layers of dried fruits, fig jam, dark chocolate, orange peel, and warm spices create a velvety, full-bodied palate with a long, warm, and indulgent finish.
Together, these expressions complete a journey that has fascinated whisky lovers worldwide and elevated Rampur Indian Single Malt as a symbol of artistry and innovation.
Sanjeev Banga, President, International Business, Radico Khaitan, said: “Our vision has always been to take India’s finest to the world. The Jugalbandi series represents that spirit, and with the final editions unveiled at TFWA Cannes, we are proud to present the pinnacle of this remarkable journey. Today, as global consumers show a growing preference for premium and craft whiskies, Rampur stands as a living example of India’s ability to produce single malts of the highest possible standard.
Kunal Madan, Sr. VP, International Business, added: “Every Jugalbandi release has been about creating harmony between two casks. With #7 and #8, we bring this symphony to a close, reflecting the depth and elegance of Rampur Indian Single Malt. These final editions also showcase the richness of flavours, from delicate tropical and floral notes to bold, indulgent layers, that have defined the journey of Jugalbandi.”
Rampur Jugalbandi #7 and #8 will roll out in select international markets and Global Travel Retail from November 2025.
