A Whiskey Revolution

Iconic whiskey categories always emerge from origin stories that reflect their unique identity – Scotland has Scotch, USA has Bourbon, Japan has Japanese – but India is still stuck with the age-old category of IMFL.

Being the largest consumer of whiskey in the world, India deserves its own origin-backed whiskey that is true to its land & people. Taking the lead, Woodsmen Mountain Whiskey is the first to break away from IMFL codes to build an origin-led Himalayan whiskey that is truly Indian.

This is the story of a revolution. A Whiskey Revolution.
