From Kashmir’s Glacial Waters to Your Glass: The Gold-Winning Journey of Cashmir Vodka

From the stunning, snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to your glass, Cashmir Vodka embodies craftsmanship and luxury. This vodka is distilled to perfection using pristine glacial waters from Kashmir and heritage organic Indian winter wheat. Cashmir Vodka provides a truly unique drinking experience, renowned for its exceptional purity and smoothness. Here’s everything you need to know about the journey of this remarkable vodka.

The Gold-Winning Journey of Cashmir Vodka

Cashmir Vodka, India's first premium small-batch organic craft vodka, was launched in May 2025. It is produced by Piccadilly Distilleries (Piccadilly Agro Industries Ltd.) in Kashmir, drawing inspiration from the rich traditions and beautiful landscape. The crafting of this spirit is basically a tribute to the region’s purity, artisanal heritage, and natural beauty. 

It stands tall as a symbol of Indian innovation and craftsmanship. Just some months after its release, in September 2025, the brand won Gold at ‘The Vodka Masters in 2025’, which was organised by The Spirits Business.

The brand was recognised with exceptional quality in the competitive organic vodka category. This achievement has surely earned global recognition for Cashmir Vodka’s purity and luxury profile. Piccadilly’s vision with Cashmir Vodka is to place Indian spirits firmly on the international map, making it both a cultural tribute and a modern luxury beverage.

Ingredients, Texture, And More

The vodka is made using a 2000-year-old heritage winter wheat, which is organic and non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism), known as Sona Moti. It was revived after its near extinction and is cultivated only for small-batch spirits. 

This wheat is combined with mineral-rich, pure glacial water, which is sourced from the Kashmir valley, giving the vodka a clean, crisp character.

The spirit undergoes a very different and distinctive process of making it. It is distilled about seven times to bring in ultra-smooth purity and then filtered five times through mango charcoal, activated carbon with metal layers like gold, silver, and platinum. This process brings in more clarity and mouthfeel. 

Cashmir Vodka offers a velvety, smooth, and crystal clear vodka which has no sugar, no artificial flavors, and complete vegan credentials.
