Camikara Indian Rum Bags ‘Global Rum Brand of the Year’ Title
India’s craft alcohol industry has reached a new milestone as premium rum label Camikara has been awarded ‘Rum Brand of the Year’ at The Spirits Business Awards 2025 in London. This win marks a historic first for Indian rum on the international stage, breaking into a domain traditionally dominated by Caribbean, Central and South American producers.
A Turning Point for Indian Craft Spirits
The Spirits Business Awards remains one of the most prestigious recognition platforms for global alcohol brands, assessing entries based on quality, originality and production craftsmanship. Camikara’s win is significant not just for the brand, but for India’s emerging presence in premium rum production. Judges praised Camikara for redefining Indian rum through purity of ingredients and careful maturation practices.
Crafted from Pure Sugarcane Juice
Produced by Piccadily Agro Industries Ltd , Camikara stands out as India’s first pure cane-juice aged rum , matured in American oak barrels without any added colour, sweeteners or artificial flavours. The climatic ageing conditions of North India contribute to its distinctive profile, strengthening its authenticity and appeal among connoisseurs. The brand currently offers 3-year, 8-year and 12-year aged variants , each positioned in the global premium spirits segment.
Growing Market Influence and Future Visibility
Camikara’s bartender-led marketing strategy has already gained traction in luxury bars across India.
