Godawan Series 01 – Rich and Rounded

Godawan is from Rajasthan (Inida), one of Earth’s hottest, driest regions, reaching up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.78 degrees Celsius). But it embraces the climate rather than fights it. The single malt is produced at the Alwar Distillery, where water conservation techniques are used to minimize waste in an already arid region. Established in 1978, Alwar became the first spirit distillery in Asia to receive the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Certification in 2024. The brand also supports sustainable agriculture. Locally sourced six-row barley is used, one said to have a more robust character than the two-row barley commonly used in scotch. This expression is aged in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks before being finished in second-fill ex-bourbon barrels treated with Indian botanicals.
