Our Anmol Ratans: Indian Liquor Brands That Put Us On The Global Map

Indians are a multi-talented bunch. We are dedicated, creative, intelligent, and hardworking; and basically know how to ace everything we do. So how can we be lagging behind when it comes to producing our absolute, ultimate love, Liquor? Read on to learn more about India’s finest alcohol offerings.

Amrut: Let’s start from the obvious. Amrut, named aptly so, is no less than a global favorite. With around 11 delectable whiskey flavors to offer, Amrut has been ranked as the third-best Whiskey in the entire world. The label hailing from Bangalore was launched only in 2004 and has become in no time a popular choice. This is one of the most sought-after Indian liquor brands.


Kingfisher: This beer is a true beau in its complete sense. It’s an absolute blessing for all amateurs and beginners out there and is also ranked as the 17th-best beer choice in the world. Currently, the liquor giant Heineken owns a large portion of Kingfisher, and that certainly makes it one of the few Indian liquor brands to watch out for!


Soul Tree Wine: The Nasik-produced wine stunner, Soul Tree has won medals at international alcohol championships and we couldn’t be more proud. That’s like the Oscar for liquor! But, the rose, red, and white beauties are only available in the UK currently. Guess where we’re backpacking first when we have money?


Paul John: Yeast, barley, and water can be used in several ways – To make rotis, or to make liquid gold. Well, guess who won the Liquid Gold award by Murray’s Whiskey Bible? Paul John Single malt from the Goa-based John distilleries! Launched in 2012, this malt is currently conquering continents and giving tough competition to Amrut. We love it when Indian liquor brands go head-on in the international arena.


Desmondji: See, anything with ‘Ji’ has to be Indian, and ‘Ji’ is a way of indicating respect. In that case, Desmondji, hands down, deserves to end with a ‘Ji’. This Goa-based Tequila killer offers five varieties and is a top-shelf choice from 2011. Do you know what makes it awesome? You can get it in all Indian metros. That’s right, we have a mindblowing tequila global brand from our very own la la land of liquor.


Wild Tiger: You’d be surprised to see how this wild, sophisticated thing can give you a ‘smooooth’ finish. We’re here to talk about a $20 bottle premium rum that India just blessed the world with, Wild Tiger. Made from sugarcane juices and molasses stored in former bourbon casks (isn’t that amazing?), this is our answer to all those who call Rum, crude. Also, how classy are the striped velvet packaging and toothbag!


Thank you, brands. You do us proud.
