Panaji: The World Whiskies Awards is one of the world’s most important whisky competitions, held every year in England, and featuring all of the world’s leading whisky brands. The competition comprises a panel of judges selecting winners for each category, following months-long blind tastings of approximately 6,000 different types of whiskies from the world’s top 60 distilleries.
This year, Kadamba was awarded “Best Indian Single-malt whisky” among many of the International whisky contenders for awards. Kadamba has all the romance of a bountiful Barley-malt harvest of India, it boldly delivers undeniable zest with every sip.
At the awards, also known as Icons of Whisky and presented by the U.K.’s Whisky Magazine, ‘Kadamba’ Signature Expression — a double-distilled whisky aged in a combination of bourbon, sherry and virgin American oak casks for a complex, velvety and full-bodied flavour — won ‘best Indian single-malt whisky award’.
Cheers group’s wins mean the distillery has joined the ranks of global whisky companies like Suntory, Red Breast, J.P Wiser and Johnny Walker.
“Despite winning numerous honours for our whiskies, we soared to great new heights, at the most important whisky awards worldwide, symbolising the pinnacle of quality and distinction in the ultra-premium Single-malt sector and we thank the jury for the award,” says Dr. Mohan Krishna founder of Cheers group.

Many aspire but just a few attain these titles,” claims Ashwin Balivada CEO of Cheers group.
