Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the cherry wood cask special?
Cherry wood is more porous than standard oak, imparting distinctive floral notes, vanilla, sweet ginger, and coconut.

Is it better than Godawan 01?
While Series 01 (Rich and Rounded) is matured in PX sherry casks for a deeper, darker profile, Series 02 is praised for its vibrant, fruit-forward, and spicy character.

Does it have an age statement?
No, it is a No Age Statement (NAS) whisky. The extreme desert heat in Rajasthan accelerates aging, making the spirit taste older than its actual age.

Who is it named after?
The brand is named after the Great Indian Bustard (Godawan), a critically endangered bird native to Rajasthan.

How should it be served?
It is best enjoyed with a hint of water, ideally cooled in a terracotta pot for 30 minutes to bring out its multidimensional properties.
