In a landmark achievement for Indian spirits, Camikara 3YO has become the first Indian rum to win a Gold Medal at the prestigious 2025 Rum & Cachaça Masters held in London. The accolade places India firmly on the global rum map and marks a proud moment for the country’s growing artisanal spirits industry.
Crafted by Piccadilly Distilleries, Camikara 3YO (short for “liquid gold”) is a molasses-based aged rum, matured for three years in American oak barrels under Indian climatic conditions. Its rich flavor profile — a balance of natural sweetness, spice, and oak — impressed an expert panel of international judges, earning it top honors in the blind tasting competition.
“We’re thrilled and humbled,” said a spokesperson from Piccadilly Distilleries. “This win is not just for Camikara — it’s for the future of premium Indian spirits on the world stage.”
Held annually in London, the Rum & Cachaça Masters is one of the spirits industry’s most respected competitions, celebrating excellence, innovation, and craftsmanship in rum production worldwide.
As India continues to make waves in the world of fine spirits, Camikara 3YO’s golden moment is a toast to tradition, innovation, and the country’s growing reputation for world-class distilling.
