In a landmark moment for Indian spirits, LEGACY — Bacardi’s first-ever made-in-India premium whisky — has been awarded Gold in the Blended Whisky category at the prestigious World Whiskies Awards 2025. With these accolades, LEGACY becomes India’s newest premium expression to command global recognition, marking a defining achievement for the homegrown whisky landscape. Elegant, contemporary, and crafted with finesse, LEGACY is not just a new whisky — it’s a lifestyle statement that embodies modern Indian sophistication and global aspiration.

Crafted in India with a bold vision and uncompromising quality, LEGACY is a distinctive blend of Indian and Scottish malts with Indian grains, offering a rich, refined profile that has captured the attention of whisky connoisseurs around the world. These awards not only put LEGACY on the global map but also underline Bacardi’s growing influence in the world of premium whisky-making.

Launched less than three years ago, LEGACY has swiftly emerged as a frontrunner in the premium whisky segment. It continues to gain traction across India and is winning over consumers with its impeccably smooth and perfectly balanced profile. More than just a spirit, LEGACY is a celebration of Indian craftsmanship — a rich, nuanced expression that bridges timeless heritage with modern sophistication.

The World Whiskies Awards is one of the most prestigious and rigorous global competitions in the spirits world. Judged annually by a panel of leading industry experts, critics, and tastemakers, the awards honor the finest whiskies across categories and geographies. A Gold award on this platform is a genuine testament to excellence because each entry is evaluated on a thorough 100-point scale with a focus on aromatics, flavor, complexity, and finish. This win is further complemented by a Silver at the Asia Spirits Masters 2025, hosted by The Drinks Business Asia — reinforcing LEGACY’s growing acclaim on the international stage.
