INDIA/UAE. Diageo India, the Bengaluru subsidiary of Diageo, has launched the Godawan Triple Cask, a travel retail-exclusive expression from the artisanal single malt brand.
The whisky is available with Ospree Duty Free at Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport; Delhi Duty Free at Indira Gandhi International Airport; Bengaluru Duty Free at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru; and Dubai Duty Free at Dubai International Airport.
The Triple Cask Travel Exclusive – crafted at Godawan’s distillery in Alwar, Rajasthan – draws inspiration from the region’s intricate jaali woodwork.
The whisky, priced at INR5,000 (US$54.90), is matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in a combination of PX sherry, virgin oak and cherry wood casks.
Bottled at 46% ABV in a 700ml format, the golden-brown liquid features floral and fruity aromas, and a sweet and textured palate rounded with a wood finish.
Godawan was founded in 2022 on three pillars: craftsmanship, mindful luxury and conscious consumption.
The brand offers six expressions: Godawan 01, Godawan 02, Limited Edition Godawan 100, Limited Edition Godawan Single Malt exclusive to the Palaces of Taj, Godawan Triple Cask Travel Exclusive, and the recently launched Limited Edition Godawan 173.
Godawan has won over 100 awards, including Triple Gold for Godawan 01, Godawan 02 and Godawan 173 at the International Taste Institute’s Superior Taste Awards 2026.
Named after the critically endangered bird, Great Indian Bustard, the brand also contributes to habitat preservation in Rajasthan.
Diageo India Chief Innovation Officer Vikram Damodaran said, “Our expanding presence across key travel retail markets allows us to engage with consumers at moments of discovery – where gifting, collecting and connection naturally come together.
“By creating expressions that are both collectable and culturally rooted, Godawan continues to position Indian whisky as a definitive voice of craftsmanship in the world’s most connected spaces.
“The Godawan Triple Cask Travel Exclusive brings a new dimension of flavour and depth. For a brand shaped by terroir and storytelling, this format helps us carry the spirit of Rajasthan to a global audience in a way that is personal, purposeful and proudly Indian.” ✈
