Alcobrew Distilleries India Limited has launched two new permanent expressions in its Gamber Valley Indian Single Malt Whisky range, named Pravah: and Tapah:. The whiskies arrived this festive season and are distilled, matured, and bottled at the company’s distillery in Solan, Himachal Pradesh.
Both expressions are made with Indian malted barley and water with Himalayan character. They are matured in ex-bourbon barrels and bottled at 46% ABV.
Pravah: is an unpeated, ex-bourbon-matured malt, while Tapah: is a peated, ex-bourbon-matured malt. Tapah: is positioned as an early entrant in the emerging Himalayan-origin peated Indian single malt segment.

Romesh Pandita, chairman and managing director of Alcobrew Distilleries India Limited, said: “With Pravah: and Tapah:, we are taking that vision a step further by establishing the core expressions of the brand. One flows with seamless elegance, while the other carries an inner fire. Both are unmistakably born in Solan. The festive season offers an ideal occasion to introduce these expressions to consumers.”
Ashutosh Rajput, chief operating officer, described the duo as “an important milestone in the evolution of brand Gamber Valley. We are launching across four states initially but will make it national in the times to come.”
Speaking about the peated expression, Rajput said: “Peated single malt is still finding its voice in India, and that is precisely where we see an exciting opportunity.”
Gamber Valley is produced to the Indian Malt Whisky Association’s standards, using 100% malted barley, copper pot still distillation, and a minimum of three years’ maturation in oak casks in India. The brand scored 92 points at the International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC) 2026.
According to the official notes from the brand, Pravah: offers layered malt with gentle vanilla, ripe banana, and a soft hint of smoke, closing with warm spice and rich chocolate. Tapah: presents gentle peat with acacia honey and liquorice, leading to a smooth finish of vanilla, warm spice, and milk chocolate.
