If you are a whisky connoisseur, this news is especially for you. Indian-made whisky is no longer limited to the domestic market; it has carved a distinct identity on the global stage.
World Whiskies Awards: India is now recognized not only for its spices, tea, or textiles but also for premium alcoholic beverages like whisky. Recently, 'LEGACY,' a premium whisky produced by Bacardi India, won a Gold Medal in the Blended Whisky category at the World Whiskies Awards 2025, showcasing Indian craftsmanship and taste to the world.
LEGACY: A Symbol of India's Self-Reliance
LEGACY is not just a spirit; it's a story of India's self-reliance. There was a time when Indian consumers relied on foreign brands for premium whisky, but times have changed. Indian brands like LEGACY are not only manufactured domestically but also balance taste, quality, and global appeal.
Indian Flavors Take Center Stage Internationally
This Bacardi India whisky's Gold Medal at the World Whiskies Awards 2025 is a testament to its quality. It also received a Silver Medal at the Asia Spirits Masters 2025. These accolades represent not only the quality of a single product but also the global reach of the Indian spirits industry.
What Makes LEGACY Special?
The most distinctive aspect of LEGACY whisky is its blend, a harmonious balance of Indian and Scottish malts. The use of Indian grains further enhances its unique character. This blend results in a smooth, balanced flavor profile with hints of light smoke, fruit, toasted oak, and Indian spices.
An Experience, Not Just a Drink
Today's consumers seek more than just intoxication from their spirits; they look for taste, experience, and cultural connection. LEGACY embodies this sentiment perfectly. This beverage is a beautiful blend of Indian culture, tradition, and modernity, showcasing how we can present our traditional flavors on a global platform.
Consumer Response Post-Launch
LEGACY whisky has received an overwhelmingly positive response in the Indian states where it has been launched. People have praised its taste, price, and quality. Many consumers say it reminds them of other international premium brands, but the Indian origin adds a special personal touch.
