AC Black Luxury Pure Grain Whisky is a distinguished, semi-premium Indian blended whisky crafted by Radico Khaitan Limited at their iconic Rampur distillery in Uttar Pradesh, one of India's most celebrated heritage distilleries established in 1943. Proudly produced using 100% molasses-free pure grain neutral spirits — ensuring a remarkably clean, crisp base — this refined whisky is then masterfully blended with aged imported Scotch malts to deliver a harmonious depth and complexity. The result is an exceptionally smooth, light golden spirit characterized by a delicate nose of sweet vanilla, light cereal grain, and warm toasted oak, followed by a gentle finish of dried fruit and mild spice. Bottled at a full-bodied 42.8% ABV, AC Black represents Radico Khaitan's enduring commitment to superior grain craftsmanship at an accessible price point.

India
The subcontinent has evolved into a global powerhouse of premium spirits, blending ancient distillation heritage with state-of-the-art master craftsmanship. From high-altitude Himalayan spring waters to coastal barrels in Goa, India's intense tropical climate accelerates oak extraction and barrel aging dynamically. This creates bold, robustly complex, and deeply spiced spirits with rich profiles in a fraction of the time required in cooler European climates.
