D'YAVOL Spirits Hits 53 Awards with Double Gold Vodka Win

D’YAVOL Spirits has won Gold medals for its Single Estate Vodka at the Asia World Spirits Competition 2026 and the SIP Awards 2026. The wins bring the brand’s total to 53 international awards across its three-expression portfolio.

D’YAVOL Spirits was founded through a partnership between Shah Rukh Khan, Aryan Khan’s D’YAVOL Luxury Collective, Radico Khaitan and Nikhil Kamath.

The latest medals cover the brand’s Single Estate Vodka, Inception Blended Malt Scotch Whisky and Vortex Blended Scotch Whisky. The three expressions have earned recognition across competitions in Asia, Europe, the US, Australia and the UK.

“D’YAVOL was built with patience and a lot of heart,” said Shah Rukh Khan. “Fifty-plus awards later, what the team feels is gratitude, and a responsibility to keep deserving it.”

The Asia World Spirits Competition, formerly the Singapore World Spirits Competition, was launched in 2019 and is part of The Tasting Alliance. Every product is judged blind by bartenders, buyers, sommeliers and spirits specialists.

The SIP Awards, now in its 18th year, is a consumer-judged competition. The 2026 edition brought together 354 consumer judges to evaluate 1,385 spirits.

“Fifty-plus international awards is a significant milestone for D’YAVOL Spirits, recognising the quality and craftsmanship behind our spirits and reinforcing our ambition to stand among the world’s best,” said Abhishek Khaitan, managing director at Radico Khaitan.

D’YAVOL Single Estate Vodka was the brand’s first product, launched in 2023. It is distilled in Poland from 100% winter wheat using a grain-to-glass process, and filtered through rare black pearls.

The vodka has been named ‘Vodka of the Year’ at the Asia International Spirits Competition and received Double Gold at the Singapore World Spirits Competition.

“The idea at the heart of D’YAVOL Spirits was always to source each expression from the region that does it best,” said Leti Blagoeva, CEO of D’YAVOL Spirits. “Whatever you pour from D’YAVOL, you can expect it to be exceptional.”

The portfolio also includes Inception, a blend of eight single malts aged up to 12 years, and Vortex, a blend of single grain and single malt whiskies.

D’YAVOL Spirits are currently available in select cities across India, the US, UK and UAE, with more markets to follow.
