ANJEEV BANGA is an industry veteran with over 3 decades of experience in international trade and brand management. He is the creator of Rampur Indian Single Malt and Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin.

We are always striving to make each Rampur expression of the highest quality and exciting for malt whisky drinkers. The diverse weather conditions at our distillery have enabled us to be creative and experiment with our single malts. We are delighted with the results as there is an impeccable balance of taste in this finely perfected golden nectar that lingers on your taste buds.  We are very proud of our Indian heritage and Rampur Asava is another step in bringing the unique whiskies of India to the world.  First time in history a Single Malt has been finished in an Indian Wine Cask! We wanted to retain the soul of gin whilst adding a refreshing twist with Indian botanicals.  Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin is an ‘Oasis in the Desert’ and a drink ‘Fit for Royalty’. – Sanjeev Banga, President, International Business, Radico Khaitan Ltd.

JAISALMER INDIAN CRAFT GIN

Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin is a triple-distilled spirit, handcrafted in a traditional copper pot still in small batches at Rampur distillery, located in the foothills of the Himalayas. The use of botanicals is a time-honoured tradition in India and Jaisalmer Gin’s recipe is derived from the ancient Indian knowledge of herbs.

Seven of the 11 botanicals used in the distillation come from India.  Coriander and Vetiver, a complex spice with intriguing peppery notes, are grown in the fields around Jaisalmer itself, Sweet Orange Peel from Central India which compliments the citrus and floral tones of the gin, Cubeb Pepper from Southern India, Darjeeling Green Tea leaves from Eastern India, Lemon Peel from Western India and Lemongrass from Southern India.  Other botanicals include Juniper Berries, Angelica Root, Liquorice and Caraway Seeds which lend a spicy, slightly anise-tinged flavour to the gin.
