DWAAR Indian Craft Whisky has introduced SIPAHI, the first expression in its new Indian Craft Whisky portfolio, marking a fresh step in the evolution of India’s premium whisky segment. Drawing inspiration from the grand DWAAR, the imposing gateways that have stood as symbols of strength and heritage throughout Indian history, SIPAHI brings together traditional Indian influences and contemporary whisky craftsmanship.
At the core of DWAAR SIPAHI is a carefully considered blend of aged Indian Single Malts and Scotch Whisky. The whisky is crafted using Indian Six Row barley sourced from Rajasthan, adding a distinct regional identity to the spirit. Its character is further developed through a finishing process in PX Sherry Casks, sourced from the renowned Sherry Triangle in Andalusia, Spain. This combination brings together Indian whisky-making expertise with international cask maturation influences.
The resulting expression is positioned as a contemporary Indian craft whisky that reflects a balance of provenance, craftsmanship and global whisky techniques. The use of Rajasthan-grown Six Row barley provides an Indian foundation, while the inclusion of aged Indian Single Malts and Scotch Whisky contributes to the blend’s depth and complexity. The PX Sherry Cask finish adds another layer to the whisky’s overall character, connecting Indian whisky craftsmanship with a well-established European cask tradition.
With SIPAHI, DWAAR aims to explore new possibilities within the Indian craft whisky category by combining local ingredients, international influences and modern production techniques. The brand’s approach is rooted in India’s cultural heritage while focusing on creating a contemporary premium spirits experience.
