About Godawan
Godawan, Diageo India's artisanal Single Malt Whisky, is crafted in, its provenance inspired by, and dedicated wholeheartedly to this Rajasthani ethos – of beauty in scarcity, and sustainability. The heat of over 100°F combined with six-row barley, which requires lesser water, helps create a whisky with an incredible depth of flavor, and a rich and complex character. The aridity means the "Angel's share" is higher than average in Godawan – leaving behind a whisky with stunning taste profiles, which are finished in special casks selectively curated with Indian botanicals. We proudly call ourselves "The Spirit of the Desert" – the spirit of Rajasthan with its culture, people, and ecology which permeates in the character and flavor of our liquid. With Godawan, we doff our hats to the artisans and the innovators who are defining modern Indian luxury that is sustainable, that is ecologically conscious, and truly nurturing of the land it comes from. Godawan is a labor of love, for our roots, for our heritage, for our land. And it is the embodiment of our commitment – to the conservation of the Great Indian Bustard, and to our communities of artisans and craftspeople. With only a few Great Indian Bustards left in the world, every bottle we make contributes to the conservation of this exquisite bird.
