This National Whisky Sour Day, choose one of the award-winning expressions from India's famed Rampur Distillery for an unparalleled iteration of the classic cocktail. Rampur Select, the flagship expression of the Rampur Single Malt line, was first released in 2016. Immediately winning many loyal fans as well as a bevy of international awards, including a Double Gold at the World Wine & Spirits Awards in San Francisco, the initial distillate offering sold out almost immediately. The current run of this new, limited 2022 edition is fully committed solely to the U.S. market. Rampur Indian Single Malt Select, ranked #5 amongst the Whiskies of the World by Whisky Advocate when last available, is made from 100% Indian barley and finished exclusively in first fill bourbon barrels.
