INDIA. Today’s selection of images comes from Ospree Duty Free where leading Indian spirits company Radico Khaitan has been highlighting the Rampur Indian Single Malt and Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin brands at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai. The images were shared by Ospree Duty Free via LinkedIn.
A striking dual activation invites travellers to experience Indian spirits’ craft and heritage in a multi-sensory environment. A life-size camel installation pays homage to Rajasthan’s regal desert culture and provides a fitting backdrop for Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin, while Rampur Single Malt tells a distinctly Himalayan story.
Travellers can take part in a traditional pottery painting activity and personalise earthen mugs inspired by Indian craftsmanship. These customised ceramics are then carefully packaged, offering a memorable keepsake. The cultural activity will run for 30 days.
Rampur Indian Single Malt, crafted in the Himalayan foothills, is a whisky with a bold, complex character. The region’s wide seasonal variations – including intense summer heat – play a critical role in shaping the spirit’s maturation. The Rampur range reflects over 80 years of distilling heritage from Radico Khaitan.
Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin draws inspiration from the royal traditions of the Maharajas and Maharanis, reflected in its refined flavour profile and sophisticated visual identity.
The matte-black bottle is accented with muted gold – a nod to Rajasthan’s golden sands, while a regal black buck emblem and silhouette of the Jaisalmer Fort (the second-oldest fort in Rajasthan) convey a sense of history.
Sampling of both expressions will commence next week, alongside further engagement activities designed to elevate the traveller’s discovery experience.
Rampur and Jaisalmer are produced by Radico Khaitan, one of India’s leading beverage companies and among the country’s oldest whisky distillers. Established in 1943, Rampur Distillery has over 80 years of whiskey heritage and expertise.
The activation celebrates Indian craftsmanship, highlighting Radico Khaitan and Ospree Duty Free’s commitment to championing homegrown brands at one of the country’s most important aviation hubs. ✈
