Camikara comes from pure cane juice

Picadilly Distilleries has introduced the limited edition Camikara, India’s first rum from pure cane juice. After spending 12 years in American oak casks for maturation, Camikara (meaning liquid gold) has no added colour, caramel, sugar or flavours, making it a 100% naturally aged rum.

When the barrels were emptied in the Punjab distillery, it was discovered that only 6.6% of the original cane juice spirit remained, with the rest being usurped by ‘angels’ share’.

A sipping rum, it is best enjoyed neat to discover the depth of its flavour and character. Bottled at a strength of 50% ABV, only 400 bottles (750 ml) of Camikara have been allocated for the India market, at an approximate price of Rs 6,200.

The limited quantity of individually numbered bottles will be released worldwide. The US has pre-booked 1,200 bottles, followed by the UK (400 bottles) and Europe (800 bottles).
