Why here

Eight Indian single malts side by side

Indian single malt is a single bottle in most shops. We have eight from Rampur: the Double Cask as a starting point, the Asava on Indian cabernet casks, the Barrel Blush, a Select Cask from 2023, a world malt and three parts of the Jugalbandi series at well over fifty-five percent.

Anyone not yet familiar with India will notice the pace above all: because of the climate, maturation there is faster than in Scotland. Not sure which one you need? Give us a call. That's what we're here for.

Our range from Rampur

Five bottles from the core range, from starting point to world malt.

About the distillery

Distilling in the foothills of the Himalayas

  • Rampur in four facts
  • 1943the year in which the distillery was founded.
  • Uttar Pradeshthe state in northern India where it is located.
  • Six-rowthe Indian barley that is used, with more husk and more enzyme activity.
  • Anup Barikthe house's master distiller and master blender.

The Rampur distillery has existed since 1943 and belongs to Radico Khaitan. It stands in the town of the same name in Uttar Pradesh, in the foothills of the Himalayas. The single malt is distilled in copper pot stills and is not chill-filtered.

After that, the climate does most of the work. Hot summers and cold winters create a large temperature swing over the year, which makes maturation faster than in Scotland. The flip side is evaporation loss: far more disappears from the cask than a Scottish distillery is used to.

Rampur uses six-row Indian barley instead of the two-row barley that is common in Scotland. Six-row barley has more husk and more enzyme activity, which produces a distillate with more grain character. Master distiller and master blender is Anup Barik.

What takes years in Scotland goes faster here, but also evaporates faster.

The Jugalbandi range

In Indian classical music, jugalbandi is the word for a duet between two soloists. In this series it is about the interplay between different casks.

Frequently asked questions about Rampur

How many Rampur does ’t Bockje have in stock?

Eight different bottles, including three parts of the Jugalbandi series. All eight are available at the moment.

Where does Rampur come from?

From the town of Rampur in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, in the foothills of the Himalayas. The distillery has existed since 1943 and belongs to Radico Khaitan.

Why does Indian whisky mature faster?

Because of the climate. Hot summers and cold winters produce a large temperature swing over the year, so the whisky takes up cask character faster. Considerably more also evaporates from the cask than in Scotland.

What is Jugalbandi?

In Indian classical music, a jugalbandi is a duet between two soloists. Rampur uses the name for a series in which the interplay between different casks is central. We have parts 1, 2 and 5.

What is Asava?

The Rampur finished in Indian cabernet sauvignon casks. Wine casks from its own country, which you rarely see with whisky.
