As the UK–India trade deal reshapes the world's largest whisky market, Ardaas is the registered, London-based partner, across three distinct routes.
For decades, punishing import duties kept the world's finest spirits out of reach for India's fast-growing class of connoisseurs. The new UK–India trade agreement changes that, halving the duty on British spirits at entry and opening a clear runway for the years ahead.
Engage one, or let Ardaas run all three in concert.
Option 01We bring independent British and Scotch distilleries — single malts, craft gins, aged rums and ready-to-serve cocktails not yet seen in India — to Indian shelves and bars, sourced and consolidated under bond from London.
Option 02Auction-sourced trophy and prestige bottles for India's collectors and connoisseurs, each with full provenance and authentication, through direct access to London's auction network.
Option 03Own the brand at the source. Begin with a white-label house label, produced and aged in Scotland under your own branding, or go further and acquire or co-own a UK distillery outright, for an India-owned brand with genuine British provenance.
A deep, growing portfolio of premium and rare spirits from the world's finest distilleries, brought to a market where they stay scarce or unavailable, and shipped under bond out of London.
The world's great whiskies, in a market where they stay rare and hard to source: Scotch single malts and aged blends, Irish pot still, Japanese malts, and American bourbon and rye. From small independent distilleries to cask-strength, single-cask and long-matured bottlings seldom seen on Indian shelves.
Premium craft gin from Britain and beyond, the breadth of styles India's bars rarely get to pour. Crisp London Dry and Old Tom, contemporary and barrel-aged gins, navy strength, and a rotating bench of flavoured editions, distilled with everything from classic juniper to rare foraged and coastal botanicals.
Premium agave spirits, one of India's fastest-growing specialties and still hard to find well made: one-hundred-percent agave blanco, reposado and añejo tequila, alongside smoky, artisanal mezcal. Sipping bottles, and the base for a new wave of cocktails.
Smooth, characterful craft vodkas: clean classic pours for the perfect martini, alongside dessert-led flavoured expressions, from raspberry and salted caramel to vanilla, plum and apple, made for a fast-growing cocktail culture.
Rum across its full spectrum, from the Caribbean and Latin America to the British Isles, a category Indian drinkers are only beginning to explore. Light and gold, dark and navy-strength, long-aged sippers and warm spiced and flavoured expressions, honey through to chocolate.
Fruit, dessert and herbal liqueurs for the cocktail bar and the after-dinner pour: rhubarb and strawberry gin, raspberry and salted-caramel vodka, coffee and Christmas spirit. Alongside fine brandies, from small-batch orchard fruit brandies to rare French cognac and armagnac, sourced to order.
Beyond the core range, we source trophy bottles at auction for India's collectors and connoisseurs — indicative of the calibre we handle, subject to availability.
Examples only. Each lot is subject to availability and auction, and carries full provenance and authentication.
Ardaas is a London-based specialist in the India–UK spirits corridor, already structured to move product from day one.
