New Delhi, 14 June 2023: Radico Khaitan, a prominent force in the thriving Indian liquor market, is rejoicing in the extraordinary triumph of its 8PM Premium Black Whisky as it introduces an alluring new packaging design that aims to captivate consumers nationwide. With an astounding track record of consistently selling over a million cases for three consecutive years, this remarkable brand has swiftly ascended to multi-millionaire status in a remarkably short period.

This exquisite medley of flavours amplifies the allure of 8PM Premium Black Whisky, bestowing upon consumers a truly extraordinary drinking experience. 

To further elevate its prestige, the new packaging prominently showcases the Monde Selection Gold Award bestowed upon 8PM Premium Black Whisky, a prestigious accolade that stands as a testament to the brand's unwavering commitment to unparalleled quality.
