Alcobrew Distilleries has entered the luxury segment with the launch of Gamber Valley Indian Single Malt Whisky. The range is built around Himalayan provenance and distilled, matured, and bottled entirely at the company’s facility at Solan, Himachal Pradesh.
The distillery operates with complete control over distillation, maturation, and bottling. This allows it to maintain consistency across the production process. The facility has been developed to participate in the narrative of the rising Indian single malt industry.
The launch also reflects broader changes in India’s whisky landscape. As the consumer base expands and more younger and globally exposed consumers explore premium Indian labels, more and more brands are offering premium expressions.

The debut range comprises Gamber Valley Private Collection 1 and Gamber Valley The Vault Series, both with 46% alcohol by volume. The Gamber Valley Private Collection 1 is priced between INR 13,000 and INR 16,000, while the latter is priced between INR 7,000 and INR 10,000.

A phased rollout to Rajasthan, Odisha, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Delhi NCR is planned for upcoming expressions.
For Alcobrew, the launch of Gamber Valley Indian Single Malt Whisky represents more than a new product launch. It hints at a deliberate shift towards higher-value categories as consumers increasingly seek authenticity and craftsmanship in premium spirits.

Commenting on the ever-evolving Indian single malt industry, Ashutosh Rajput commented, “Indian single malts crossed 53% of total single malt volume in 2024 – that shift didn't happen by accident, and it isn't slowing down. The consumer driving this market is younger, better-travelled, and far less deferential to legacy labels than the generation before them.
We are entering at a moment when the category is still being defined, which means the brands that build credibility now will own the narrative for the next decade. Our phased rollout is deliberate – we are building depth in each market before we move to the next, because this is a brand built to last, not to spike.”
