Godawan Series 02 - Fruit and Spice

One of Godawan’s limited releases was rated as the top single malt at the 2024 London Spirits Competition, and since then two of their single malts have hit the UK: ‘01 Rich and Round’ (PX finish), and this more unusual ‘02 Fruit and Spice’ matured in bourbon barrels but then finished in cherry wood casks. In Scotland (and America), only oak casks are allowed, but in other countries woods such as cherry offer opportunities for innovation.The north Indian climate plays a big role too, with temperatures often reaching 50°C. This whisky has an average age of 5 years, but those are very intense years!

‘Godawan’ is the popular name for the Great Indian Bustard, a once common bird that’s now critically endangered with numbers as low as 150 in the wild. They’re therefore a rare and special sight, and the brand proudly contributes to their preservation.
