India's Cane Fields, Pot Stills and Bourbon Oak
Camikara — from Sanskrit words for "liquid gold" — is made the way agricole-style rums are: from fresh cane juice rather than molasses, which gives it a green, vegetal sweetness molasses rum cannot copy. Piccadily Distilleries, in the Haryana cane belt, then does something unusual for an Indian spirit: it shows its work — pure cane juice, copper pot stills, three full years in ex-bourbon oak, and nothing added at bottling.

Tasting Notes
Fresh sugarcane sweetness with a vegetal greenness and a wet-leather undercurrent, opening to melon, honey and vanilla; oak and a delicate char smoke through the middle over balanced natural sweetness; a rounded, sweetish finish with a subtle smoky touch (importer tasting notes).
How to Enjoy
A genuine sipper neat or on a single rock; the cane-juice character also lifts a daiquiri or rum Old Fashioned well beyond mixing-rum territory.
