Godawan Artisanal Indian Single Malt has officially landed in London! The entry is already creating a buzz with whisky enthusiasts in the UK, as the premium spirit is known for its seamless blend of Indian heritage and sustainability, as well as its 70+ awards. Godawan is now ready to delight connoisseurs with its distinctive character and purpose-driven ethos.
Crafted by Diageo India’s Good Craft Co., Godawan reflects the brand’s philosophy of mindful luxury. Distilled in Rajasthan, at one of Asia’s most sustainable distilleries, the whisky uses six-row Indian barley, a grain prized for its robust flavour. The arid desert climate accelerates the ageing process, lending the whisky a unique depth and complexity.
What truly sets Godawan apart is its commitment to conservation. Named after the Great Indian Bustard, a critically endangered bird, the brand channels a portion of proceeds from every bottle sold toward habitat preservation for this majestic species. As Vikram Damodaran, Chief Innovation Officer at Diageo India, aptly describes Godawan – “a rare spirit crafted with a unique purpose.”
Whisky lovers can indulge in two of the brand’s signature expressions. 01 Rich & Rounded is ideal for those who enjoy sweeter profiles, featuring notes of caramel, raisin, and apricot enhanced by PX sherry and American oak casks. Its smooth, dessert-like profile makes it a delightful sipping choice. In contrast, 02 Fruit & Spice is bold and layered, with vibrant hints of ginger, coconut, and roasted coffee imparted by virgin oak and cherrywood maturation. Together, these expressions cater to a wide range of palates while showcasing Indian artistry.
At £65, Godawan invites drinkers to savour a whisky that transcends taste, combining tradition, innovation, and sustainability. Available across London, it offers a sip of Indian craftsmanship that’s making waves worldwide. With every glass, whisky lovers can experience a spirit that celebrates artistry while contributing to a greater cause.
