In a landmark achievement for Indian spirits, Doaab India Craft Whisky has emerged as a global symbol of excellence, being awarded gold with an exceptional 95 points at the Berlin International Spirits Competition 2025, where it was also bestowed with the coveted title of ‘India Whisky of the Year 2025’.
This milestone triumph underscores its commitment to redefining the Indian whisky narrative through a seamless blend of heritage, innovation, and uncompromising quality. The brand’s debut expression, 01 Six Blind Men and the Elephant, encapsulates the essence of creative exploration and craftsmanship. Aged exclusively in 100% ex-bourbon barrels, this limited-edition single malt offers an evocative journey of flavour, a sensorial celebration rooted in Indian tradition and elevated by modern expression.
On the nose, it bursts with tropical fruits, golden honey, and creamy vanilla, elegantly intertwined with notes of dried dates, toffee, and charred oak. The palate unfolds with layered richness, nutty barley malts, cinnamon, warm spices, and toasted almonds, finishing in a long, refined trail of vanilla, coconut, and mellow oak. With only 500 casks ever produced, it stands as a bold and rare tribute to India’s evolving whisky identity.
Further solidifying its global credentials, it also clinched Silver at the prestigious International Spirits Challenge 2025 in London a competition known for its rigorous standards and international acclaim. This is in addition to its earlier recognition at the London Spirits Competition 2025, where it was awarded Bronze with 89 points. It has been also hailed as Indian Single Malt Whisky of the Year 2025 nationally.
Shekhar Swarup, joint managing director, Globus Spirits Ltd., said, “To be named India Whisky of the Year and win at the world’s most respected spirits competitions is an extraordinary honour. Doaab is not just a whisky it’s our bold statement to the world about what Indian craftsmanship can achieve. These international recognitions, from Berlin to London, reaffirm our commitment to pushing boundaries and setting new global benchmarks in quality, creativity, and authenticity.”
