India Whisky: It is a proud moment for the Indian liquor industry. Devans Modern Breweries' two new premium whiskies, Manşã and Adambra, have won awards in prestigious competitions worldwide. Manşã, crafted in the hills of Jammu, has been named "International Whisky of the Year 2025" in Germany. Meanwhile, Adambra won the titles of "Best Indian Single Malt" and "Best Indian Whisky" at a competition held in Las Vegas, USA. This achievement is giving a new identity to Indian craftsmanship and taste on a global scale.
Manşã's Aroma and Taste Win Hearts
Manşã is Devans Breweries' first whisky to be called a peated single malt. It has a smoky or burnt wood-like aroma and taste. It also includes sweet fragrances like guava, honey, and caramel. This is why its taste particularly attracts whisky lovers.
Renowned whisky expert Jim Murray praised Manşã, calling it a "Malt Lover's Dream." He believes that this whisky, due to its taste and aroma, can be counted among the world's finest single malts.
A Unique Identity Emerging from the Valleys of Jammu
Manşã is crafted in the hills of Jammu. The cool breezes, pure water, and unique climate there make its quality special. This whisky is matured for many years in oak wood casks. This process imparts a light smoky aroma, a lemon-like tartness, and a unique blend of sweet spices.
Manşã has also received the "Grand Gold" honor. This title is given to very few liquors worldwide. This makes it clear that Indian whisky is now bly standing up to international standards as well.
Adambra's Unique Color and Taste
Devans' other major offering is Adambra, which is a non-peated single malt whisky. It does not have a smoky aroma; rather, its taste is extremely balanced and smooth. It is matured in old American bourbon casks, which gives it a deep amber color.
Adambra's flavor includes deep but sweet tastes such as dried apricots, honey, and caramel. It is specially made for people who like delicate and smooth-tasting whiskies.
Price and Availability
Currently, both Manşã and Adambra are available only at Delhi and Hyderabad airport duty-free shops. The 750 ml bottle is priced at approximately ₹9,500. The company plans to launch these whiskies in Haryana and Goa liquor stores soon.
International Standards from Packaging to Taste
Devans Breweries has paid special attention to the packaging, quality, and testing of these whiskies. Every aspect has been prepared according to international standards. This is why liquor experts and enthusiasts around the world are liking these Indian whiskies.
Earlier also, the Indian liquor industry has registered its presence on the international stage. Himalaya Spirits' Coffee Liqueur won a Gold Medal in the United States. Now, Devans' Manşã and Adambra have given Indian brands a new height.
Echo of Indian Taste in the World
The success of these whiskies, emerging from India to international platforms, has proved that Indian craftsmanship and taste are second to none. Whether it is the smoky and deep aroma of Manşã or the smooth and sweet taste of Adambra, both have made connoisseurs around the world their fans.
