Rampur Distillery Unveils the Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum at IAADFS Summit 2024

Rampur Distillery announces the launch of The Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum at IAADFS Summit of the Americas at the Palm Beach County Convention Centre in West Palm Beach, Florida from 14th April to 17th April 2024. Rampur Distillery is operated by Radico Khaitan Limited (RADICO.NS), which was established in 1943 and is one of India’s leading alcohol beverage companies.

The Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum will be rolling out in coming months across global markets including the USA, UK, EU, Asia as well as GTR.

The Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum is crafted through small-batch distillation, using only fresh cane juice during the North Indian Winter season. The Rum is then matured in American Oak Barrels previously used for maturing Indian Single Malt, followed by further maturation in Cognac XO and Vermouth casks. 

“We are thrilled to announce the grand unveiling of The Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum, a true jewel in the crown of the spirits world, at the IAADFS Summit,” says Sanjeev Banga, President of International Business at Radico Khaitan, the parent company of Rampur Distillery. “Crafted with meticulous care and inspired by centuries of tradition, The Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum embodies the essence of luxury and refinement akin to world renowned Kohinoor Diamond.”

Experience the epitome of Indian luxury with The Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum.

The golden essence of The Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum traces its heritage to ancient India, where the roots of alcohol distillation were planted during the era of the Indus Valley civilisation, spanning from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. Rum is arguably one of the earliest known spirits due to its simple production process. Its main ingredient, sugarcane, was first known to be fermented in India. The earliest records of crystalline sugar production also originated in India.

The Kohinoor Reserve Indian Dark Rum is presented in an exquisite glass bottle, mirroring the magnificence of the Kohinoor Diamond. When viewed from above, it resembles the brilliant oval cut of the diamond. Kohinoor, meaning Mountain of Light, represents the rarest of the rare. The bottle's design cascades gracefully, evoking the image of a noble emperor, standing resolutely with a sturdy foundation. Its understated and refined branding, accented with muted gold, enhances its opulence. 

RRP: 49.99 USD for 70cl. ABV: 43%
