This year, we spotlight seven alcohol brands worth discovering, each with its own story, distinct character, and reason to raise a glass.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><strong>1. Cashmir Vodka \u2013 The Luxury Spirit from India<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">India\u2019s first premium small-batch organic craft vodka, CASHMIR, has achieved a landmark victory by winning Gold at The Vodka Masters 2025 by The Spirits Business.

Inspired by the untouched serenity of Kashmir Valley, Cashmir uses the finest Sona Moti winter wheat \u2014 a 2,000-year-old organic grain known as the Golden Pearl \u2014 and mineral-rich glacial water from Kashmir\u2019s pristine springs.

The medium finish leaves a graceful trail of mellow sweetness and refinement.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Price: 750 ml | INR 750\u20131,500 (depending on state and availability).<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><strong>3. MacRoys Whisky \u2013 The Modern Gentleman\u2019s Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">Launched in 2019, MacRoys has quickly earned a reputation for exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Aged in first-fill bourbon casks, its flagship Blended Scotch delivers a rich, smooth character. The range includes the bold Extra Peat Variant, balanced with vanilla, chocolate, and sherry sweetness, and the unique Sherry Cask Finish \u2014 the only blended Scotch of its kind on the market. Each variant reflects MacRoys\u2019 unwavering focus on quality and innovation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">Price &amp; availability: Delhi \u2013 INR 1,780 for a 750 ml bottle.

With tropical flavour notes and quirky branding, it\u2019s the perfect choice for those who see their glass as half-full and their evenings as full of fun.
