Godawan Rich & Rounded is an expression from Godawan, the artisanal single malt whisky crafted in Alwar, Rajasthan, India. Distilled from six-row barley and matured under intense desert conditions (often exceeding 100 °F), this whisky is finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and bourbon barrels treated with Indian botanicals Rasna and Jatamansi. The “Rich & Rounded” profile delivers luxurious sweetness, depth, and complexity, symbolising the brand’s craftsmanship and connection to its desert terroir.

Serving Suggestions:
Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of still water to unlock its depth. Also shines in dessert pairings—think dark chocolate, fruit-cake, or apple pie. Would elevate a Boulevardier or Old Fashioned style cocktail when richness is desired.
