In a major win for India’s Alco-Bev landscape, DŌAAB India Craft Whisky has been crowned ‘India Whisky of the Year 2025’ at the Berlin International Spirits Competition, bagging a Gold Medal with 95 points. This recognition marks a milestone for Indian single malts on the global stage, spotlighting DŌAAB as a symbol of bold craftsmanship and storytelling.

Produced by Globus Spirits Ltd., DŌAAB’s debut release, titled "01 Six Blind Men and the Elephant," is a limited-edition single malt aged exclusively in 100% ex-bourbon barrels. With only 500 casks ever produced, the whisky offers a unique tasting journey — bursting with tropical fruits, honey, vanilla, dried dates, toffee, and oak on the nose, and delivering barley malts, cinnamon, toasted almonds, and mellow oak on the palate.

DŌAAB’s award tally doesn't stop at Berlin. The whisky also earned Silver at the International Spirits Challenge 2025 in London, and Bronze with 89 points at the London Spirits Competition, along with a national honour as Indian Single Malt Whisky of the Year 2025.

"To be named India Whisky of the Year and win at the world's most respected spirits competitions is an extraordinary honour," said Mr. Shekhar Swarup, Joint Managing Director, Globus Spirits Ltd.
"DŌAAB is our bold statement to the world about Indian craftsmanship — rooted in tradition, elevated by innovation, and ready for the global stage."

Blending Indian heritage with modern expression, DŌAAB is reshaping global perceptions of Indian whisky. Each bottle reflects a narrative of artistry, rarity, and refined flavour, aligning perfectly with the brand’s mission to create contemporary spirits that remain deeply Indian at heart.
