Best of 2022: Our round-up of the 13 new & homegrown whisky brands of the year
1. Godawan 01
The lesser-known edit of the artisanal single malt named after Rajasthan’s Great Indian Bustard, this version of the acclaimed whisky from the house of Diageo is rich, and well-rounded with a PX sherry finish. It opens with honeysuckle, chocolate, coffee, leading into deep intense caramel, dried candied citrus and baklava butteriness. Winter-perfect.
2. Godawan 02
The virtues of this have been extolled by nearly every liquor maven you talk to; so much so that you wouldn’t even believe this beloved whisky only launched in June. Choose the 02 if you’re partial to a fruiter, spicier usquebaugh, one that you’d rather have on the rocks that neat so the flavours go a long way.
3. Indri Trini Single Malt
