India has always had a flair for dramatic whiskies – from smoky sips to bold blends that perfectly capture the desi essence. And if there’s one name that comes to our mind, it has to be the Royal Ranthambore Whisky. Deeply rooted in the Indian soil, Ranthambore Whisky is a regal whisky that’s redefining trends and celebrating the luxury of Indian craftsmanship. Think of the perfect pour that pays tribute to the land of Ranthambore. If you’re a whisky lover, you must know about the Royal Ranthambore Whisky.
Royal Ranthambore Whisky comes from the house of Radico Khaitan, India’s leading and the largest Indian-made-foreign-liquor (IMFL) company. While Radico Khaitan has a diverse array of brands under its portfolio – such as Jaisalmer Gin, 8 PM Whisky, and Magic Moments Vodka – it unveiled the Royal Ranthambore craft whisky in 2021.
This craft whisky creation stems from the passion towards serving liquor of the highest standards, that feels regal in every sip.
Royal Ranthambore takes its inspiration from the royal tigers of Ranthambore and the brave kings of Rajasthan – the union of their wildness and elegance perfectly captured in a bottle. It is an ode to the glorious yesteryears of Rajasthani history and heritage where mighty tigers roam free. Royal Ranthambore takes inspiration from these majestic tigers – in fact, you’d be surprised to know that the color of this spirit also pays homage to the hue of a tiger’s coat!
Each sip of the whisky tells a story – one that is steeped in timeless valor and rich heritage of the bygone era. Each sip pays a heartfelt tribute to the indomitable spirit of valor that has become timeless in the pages of history.
The allure of the whisky greatly lies in its meticulous craftsmanship, where each sip tells a soulful story. It uses a rare scotch grain that is made from 100% malted barley, after which it is carefully blended with oak-infused Indian Grain Neutral Spirit. The result is a whisky that feels like velvety royalty in each sip!
And when it comes to enjoying this whisky, Royal Ranthambore is not just meant to be ‘enjoyed’, it’s meant to be ‘experienced’. To make your experience even better, Ranthambore’s official website mentions how to enjoy this whisky through a special ritual.
The ritual is as follows:
It’s not just the spirit that has been given utmost attention – even the containers you’ll get them in have been crafted from the finest craftsmanship. These hip flasks are inspired by the majestic terrain of Ranthambore, with the outer leatherwork sleeve-like part epitomizing royalty.
It is ergonomically designed to perfectly slip into your pocket – making it easy-to-carry, with style. In itself, these hip flasks are a compact yet bold and stylish statement – and we think you’d certainly agree.
The blended whisky comes in a unique bottle that perfectly captures the essence of royalty in each of its elements. Take the bottle for example – a ribbed design running lengthwise that gives a premium feel to the bottle.
The labeling and the fonts generate a powerful, royal image the moment you set your eyes on it. The casing has intricate motifs printed on it with the logo of the royal tigers of Ranthambore standing out in royal blue.
Overall, the bottle packaging is a wondrous ode to the royal heritage of Ranthambore, the tigers of this land, and the culture of Rajasthan.
Royal Ranthambore is packaged beautifully and sold in the regions of Delhi, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Haryana in select retail outlets. While pricing varies on each region, the price range for the whisky will remain between INR 1500 and INR 2000. This makes the whisky a great premium option at a pocket-friendly price.
