KATHMANDU: The Nepal Distilleries, Nepal's first and leading distillery, has announced the addition of three more prestigious medals to its existing wall of global recognition.
The distillery's three distinct offerings have brought home one silver and two bronze at the International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC) Awards 2024. The IWSC is a global wine and spirits community that has been discovering and awarding the world's best spirits since 1969. The annual event receives entries from over 90 countries.
Leading the distillery's flagship lineup since 1959, Khukri XXX Rum, secured a bronze medal with 88 points. The Khukri Spiced Rum, infused with authentic Nepali spices, was awarded a bronze medal with 89 points. Similarly, NUDE SUPERIOR VODKA, the distillery's flagship product, claimed the silver medal with 91 points. One of the nine members of the IWSC judging panel was Ian Burrell, the Global Rum Ambassador, who is currently in Nepal, exploring the craftsmanship and unique taste of the Original Nepalese Rum — Khukri Rum.
Shuvash Lamichhane, General Manager of The Nepal Distilleries, encapsulated the distillery's excitement about the achievement, "Since the inception of The Nepal Distilleries, we have been committed to ensuring only the finest craftsmanship and quality ingredients are involved in producing our premium spirits. The prestigious IWSC Awards recognise this and act as a window to the quality of spirit that our bottle encases. These acknowledgements inspire us to remain steadfast in our dedication to providing our consumers with a premium drinking experience. As we celebrate this recognition with our team, our heartfelt gratitude goes to our invaluable customers worldwide, who made it possible."
First produced in 1959, Khukri XXX Rum has established itself as the Original Himalayan Rum. The Rum has been a part of its consumers' numerous celebrations, inspiring the creation and sharing of great stories that transcend time. In 2008, Khukri Spiced Rum was launched as a masterful blend of assorted Nepali spices. The Rum became the foremost choice during the celebrations of tradition and occasion. In 2022, NUDE SUPERIOR VODKA was launched and quickly established itself as the spirit of choice for young, bold, and modern consumers who celebrate their originality and embrace their true character.
The Nepal Distilleries has enjoyed an impressive six decades as the market leader of the domestic spirits segment in Nepal's alcohol industry. Beyond Nepal, the distillery has garnered numerous international recognitions and is currently distributing its products across the globe.
