Continuing its rich legacy of craftsmanship and excellence, Khukri Rum has been recognised for its exceptional quality at the Spiritz Conclave & Achievers’ Awards 2025, one of India’s most prestigious industry honours. Through rigorous blind tasting evaluation by expert jury, Khukri XXX Rum captured Gold, while Khukri Spiced Rum claimed Bronze. This recognition underscores the timeless craftsmanship and rich heritage that define Khukri Rum—a blend that embodies the spirit of Nepal while appealing to modern, global sensibilities.
The Spiritz Conclave & Achievers’ Awards celebrates excellence in the Indian alco-bev industry, recognizing brands that demonstrate superior quality, innovation, and craftsmanship. The competition’s blind tasting format ensures unbiased evaluation, judged by a panel of experts from the industry. Marking a milestone for Himalayan excellence, Khukri’s win stands as a testament to its masterful craftsmanship and rich legacy—honouring a rum that has long embodied the spirit of authenticity and artistry.
Produced by Nepal’s first distillery and revered as the rum from the top of the world, Khukri carries over 65 years of Himalayan legacy. Crafted with passion and precision, Khukri Rum is made from the finest Nepalese sugarcane and distilled with pristine Himalayan waters. It is the only rum aged in Shorea Robusta casks, a time-honoured technique that infuses each expression with unparalleled depth, complexity, and character. Traditional open-flame caramelization adds richness, while high-altitude aging in cool mountain temperatures allows for a slower, more refined maturation.
“This recognition at one of India’s most respected platforms reaffirms Khukri’s commitment to quality and our passion for crafting a spirit that honours tradition while embracing the tastes of today’s discerning consumers,” said, Sharad Tibarewala, Brand Owner, MCKT Beverages Pvt. Ltd. “It is a proud reflection of our vision — to create exceptional spirits that bring people together and spread happiness across borders.”
The awards come at an exciting time for Khukri as it continues to build its footprint in India, bringing its premium Himalayan heritage to new markets and enthusiasts. As Khukri continues to captivate both traditional aficionados and modern rum enthusiasts, these latest accolades underscore its position as not just a rum, but a cultural ambassador—bridging generations, geographies, and tastes with every pour.
Already established in key global markets like Nepal, USA, UK, Japan, Italy, Australia, and the UAE, Khukri continues to build on its rich legacy by offering a premium convivial experience while setting a new benchmark for rum enthusiasts nationwide.
