Radico Khaitan recently expanded its portfolio with the launch of two premium spirits, with one of them being the TRIKĀL Indian Single Malt Whisky. Known for being a pioneer in the Indian spirits industry, Radico Khaitan produces this high-quality single malt whisky at its well-known Rampur Distillery and the product is a unique blend of tradition and world-class techniques.
TRIKĀL Indian Single Malt Whisky, with its notes of warm spices, vanilla, and stone fruits, reveals complex yet delicious flavors of toasted oak, honeyed peat, and hints of smoke. The name of the whisky was met with a lot of flak and that led to objections on sale in certain states. However, the brand has maintained a steady foothold in the Indian spirits market so far.
