Indian Products Take Centre Stage at TFWA Singapore

•⁠  ⁠From Rampur and Amrut to Indri, Seven Islands and Mahua-finished malts, Indian companies showcase premium ambitions at the world’s leading duty-free exhibition India’s alcoholic beverage industry made a powerful statement at the TFWA Exhibition and Conference in Singapore this year, underlining how Indian spirits are rapidly moving from a domestic-volume business to a globally recognised premium category.

For years, IPA has been the dominant force in craft beer. Whether it was West Coast IPA, hazy IPA, double IPA, or fruited IPA, the style seemed untouchable. Walk into almost any brewery or bottle shop, and you could count on IPAs taking up a huge share of the tap list and cooler space. But lately, there’s a question starting to pop up more often in beer circles: are beer drinkers moving away from IPAs? That’s the topic I dive into in my latest video, and if you want to watch the full discussion, you can check it out here: Are Beer Drinkers Moving Away From IPAs? IPA Still Matters — But the Beer Landscape Is Changing Let’s be clear right from the start: IPA is not disappearing.

That means you’re not going to casually spot this on retail shelves anytime soon, at least in the first phase of the launch. The whisky comes in a 1-litre format at 46% ABV at a approx price point of Rs. 15,000. Now that's not your average price point, but with only 3,000 bottles released globally in the first run, maki
