Bacardi’s LEGACY Whisky wins Gold at world stage, boosts premium demand in Siliguri

Bacardi’s first-ever made-in-India premium whisky, LEGACY, has won the Gold medal in the Blended Whisky category at the prestigious World Whiskies Awards 2025. Launched less than three years ago, LEGACY has swiftly carved a niche in the premium spirits space, combining Indian and Scottish malts with Indian grains to create a smooth, refined profile now acclaimed by global experts.

The win is further reinforced by a Silver medal at the Asia Spirits Masters 2025, hosted by The Drinks Business Asia. These recognitions underline Bacardi’s rising influence in the global whisky market and highlight its commitment to crafting bold, distinctive spirits rooted in Indian heritage.

In Siliguri, a growing hub for premium spirits in eastern India, LEGACY is fast gaining popularity. Retailers report a steady rise in demand for Indian-made luxury whiskies, especially among urban consumers seeking quality and global recognition. LEGACY’s modern appeal and award-winning profile are helping redefine local perceptions of Indian whisky. Available in 750ml, 375ml, and 180ml sizes, LEGACY is now retailed across key states including West Bengal, Assam, and Meghalaya—affirming Bacardi’s strategic focus on India as a priority market in its global expansion plans.
