Radico Khaitan introduces the flagship brands Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum, Rampur Barrel Blush, Rampur Select, and Jugalbandi 5 & 6 at the country’s busiest airport
NEW DELHI, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Radico Khaitan Ltd; one of the largest homegrown alco-bev companies, has launched an exclusive selection of its finest spirits at Delhi Duty Free. This marks the first time that three of the company’s most celebrated expressions are being introduced to the Indian travel retail market.
As the summer travel season hits peak, Radico Khaitan’s portfolio takes its place at the heart of Indira Gandhi International Airport. Travellers passing through can now experience the exceptional craftsmanship behind Rampur Indian Single Malt Barrel Blush, Jugalbandi Indian Single Malts Editions 5 and 6, Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum, and a specially created Rampur Select, available exclusively at Delhi Duty Free.
The new range showcasing Indian opulence at its best, stands tall with the existing heart winning brands including Sangam World Malt, Rampur Double Cask and the very luxurious Rampur Asava.
Sanjeev Banga, President International Business at Radico Khaitan, said: “Delhi Duty Free is a key gateway that allows us to reach a global audience. The decision to introduce our flagship portfolio here was deliberate and timely. As travel retail continues to evolve, we believe that premium offerings rooted in heritage and innovation will resonate strongly with today’s travellers. This collection reflects the best of what India has to offer in the world of fine spirits.”
Kunal Madan, Senior Vice President International Business at Radico Khaitan, said: “We are excited to present a portfolio that captures the essence of what makes Indian spirits truly world-class. Each bottle tells a story, whether it is the floral finesse of Barrel Blush, the complexity of Jugalbandi’s dual maturation or the luxury that is echoed through the essence of Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum. With Rampur Select created especially for Delhi Duty Free, we wanted to offer travellers something they cannot find anywhere else. It is a tribute to tradition with a fresh perspective.”
Rampur Select is aged in the foothills of the Himalayas and described as the Kohinoor of Indian Single Malts. This expression offers fruity and spicy aromas with delicate notes of vanilla and caramel. On the palate, it reflects the warmth and brightness of a long Indian summer. The finish is long, rich, and gently spiced, leaving behind a warm and memorable impression.
Presenting the much talked about Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum, which is crafted through small-batch distillation, using fresh cane juice harvested during north Indian winters. The rum is then matured in American oak barrels previously used for maturing Indian single malt, followed by further maturation in Cognac XO and vermouth casks.
Also debuting is Rampur Barrel Blush, a whisky matured in American white oak and finished in Australian Shiraz wine casks. It delivers a refined sensorial experience, with balanced floral and fruity notes on the nose, a palate rich in toffee, dark fruits, and spice, and an indulgent finish that lingers beautifully.
Completing the portfolio are Jugalbandi Editions 5 and 6, part of Radico Khaitan’s acclaimed dual cask collection. These editions explore contrasting cask finishes, brought together in harmony to highlight the evolving character of Indian single malts.
With premiumisation and innovation at the core, the company aims to engage with a new generation of spirit enthusiasts and collectors around the world.
