Radico Khaitan’s Rampur Distillery has launched Ankahi Zaffran Spiced Liqueur, marking the debut of its premium Ankahi Liqueur series. The unveiling took place at ProWein 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany, one of the world’s most prestigious trade fairs for wines and spirits.
Bringing Indian Heritage to the World
The term “Ankahi”, meaning “untold,” reflects the essence of India’s hidden botanical treasures. The liqueur’s unique blend of saffron and 21 handpicked spices aims to offer a luxurious and culturally rich drinking experience.
“Our goal is to bring India’s finest flavors to a global audience, and Ankahi Zaffran Spiced Liqueur is a tribute to that vision,” said Abhishek Khaitan, Managing Director of Radico Khaitan.
A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation
Crafted with inspiration from Kashmir’s saffron fields, the liqueur is infused with premium ingredients, including:
- Clove
- Cardamom
- Cinnamon
- Star anise
- Coriander
Saffron, often referred to as the ‘jewel of spices,’ forms the heart of this liqueur, lending it a rich golden hue and a complex, aromatic profile.
According to Kunal Madan, Senior Vice President of International Business at Radico Khaitan, “Ankahi Zaffran is not just a drink—it’s a sensory journey through India’s vibrant culture and rich traditions.”

Shipments will begin in April 2025, reaching markets across the United States, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East. Leading liquor retailers and duty-free outlets worldwide will stock the product.
Future Innovations in the Spirits Industry
Building on the launch of Ankahi Zaffran Spiced Liqueur, Radico Khaitan has announced plans to introduce two more premium brands in the first half of fiscal 2026.
With this expansion, Radico Khaitan continues to strengthen its global footprint, offering innovative and high-quality spirits that celebrate India’s rich heritage.
