Final Thoughts
Rampur Select is a non-age-statement single malt matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, showcasing India’s terroir-driven richness. On the nose, it opens with tropical fruits—mango, lychee, and banana—layered with honey and vanilla. The palate brings creamy notes of caramel, toffee, and butterscotch balanced with baking spices, dried apricots, and oak. The mouthfeel is velvety, leading to a lingering finish of fruit, vanilla, and a touch of peppery spice. Best neat, it pairs well with spiced lamb curry, rich Indian sweets, or aged cheddar.
