Bacardi’s first-ever made-in-India premium whisky, LEGACY, has clinched the Gold medal in the Blended Whisky category at the prestigious World Whiskies Awards 2025. Launched less than three years ago, LEGACY’s recognition on the global stage signals a new era for Indian whisky craftsmanship.
Crafted from a blend of Indian and Scottish malts and Indian grains, LEGACY has emerged as a symbol of modern Indian sophistication. Its rich and balanced profile also earned a Silver medal at the Asia Spirits Masters 2025. Bacardi’s Marketing Director for India and Neighboring Countries, Mahesh Kanchan, described the recognition as a “powerful validation” of the brand’s vision to elevate Indian whisky globally.
LEGACY’s growing footprint is evident in markets across India, including Assam, West Bengal, and Maharashtra. In Siliguri, part of the vibrant West Bengal market, premium whisky consumers are increasingly gravitating toward refined Indian labels like LEGACY, which balances heritage with innovation. Retailers note a rise in demand driven by youth seeking globally acclaimed yet locally crafted spirits. Available in three sizes, LEGACY continues to redefine the premium whisky segment and strengthen India’s position in the global spirits industry.
