A Taste of India, in UK: Godawan Artisanal Indian Single Malt

The UK whisky scene is welcoming an exciting new entrant—Godawan Artisanal Indian Single Malt. This exceptional whisky blends Indian heritage, sustainability and craftsmanship into a bold new offering for London.

Whisky enthusiasts can experience two distinct expressions, each crafted to cater to varied palates. 01 Rich & Rounded is a smooth, dessert-like whisky with notes of caramel, raisin, and apricot, aged in PX sherry and American oak casks. Its velvety profile makes it perfect for those who prefer sweeter, softer flavours. In contrast, 02 Fruit & Spice offers a vibrant, layered experience, with hints of sweet ginger, coconut, and roasted coffee imparted by virgin oak and cherrywood cask aging. Both expressions encapsulate a balance of tradition and innovation, inviting drinkers to embark on a flavourful journey into Indian heritage.

Crafted by Diageo India’s Good Craft Co., Godawan exemplifies mindful luxury. Distilled in one of Asia’s most sustainable facilities and made using locally sourced six-row Indian barley, Godawan goes beyond being just a whisky—it represents purpose-driven craftsmanship. The whisky takes its name from the Great Indian Bustard, a critically endangered bird that symbolises India’s ecological heritage, and actively supports the conservation of the iconic bird, contributing proceeds from every bottle sold toward protecting its habitat. This ethos of blending luxury with purpose is central to the brand. A testament to this philosophy was the release of Godawan 100, a launch limited to just 100 bottles, honouring the estimated number of surviving Great Indian Bustards.

Now available across London at £65, the award-winning Godawanpromises to capture the attention of seasoned connoisseurs and newcomers alike. As Vikram Damodaran, Chief Innovation Officer at Diageo India, notes, “Godawan is bringing a taste of luxury and artistry to people across the world.” Whether enjoyed neat or with a twist, this artisanal single malt is an invitation to explore Indian heritage and make a meaningful impact with every sip.
