The award-winning whiskey is curated by Diageo India, drawing inspiration from its cultural roots to embrace Rajasthan's beliefs of finding beauty in scarcity keeping intact the sustainability.

This masterpiece is aged in selected casks/barrels infused with some Indian Botanicals, that ultimately add a distinctive trait to the mixture.

"The arid climatic conditions contribute to a heightened 'Angel's share' phenomenon, imparting an extraordinary flavour profile that enthrals the sense."

The company marked its first anniversary with the introduction of a limited-edition single malt batch of 100 bottles of Godawan 100, paying tribute to the Great Indian Bustard, known as Godawan. Godawan is an endangered species with only over a hundred of its types left. The bird was once a common sight across the nation and now it's on the verge of complete extinction.
