India, ” The Subcontinent” has the Thar Desert, jungles, the Ganges Plain, tropical south and cool heights of the Himalayas. Despite being the world’s largest sugar producer, rum wasn’t always king. Historically, India even exported Bengal rum to Australia. A 1855 established distillery is now home to one of India’s most iconic rum brands launched in 1954, reflects this legacy. Today, a new wave of craft distillers in Mumbai and Goa is pioneering authentic rums using local molasses, jaggery, fresh sugarcane juice, and Indian spices.
