In the year 2009, in a quaint little village Indri, India, the sweetest stalks of sugarcane were picked, the juice distilled and placed in 956 American Oak casks.
This spirit sat patiently interacting with the wood – gaining color, flavor, and character as time rolled by. When the spirit was finally drawn from the barrels it was a sight to behold; a stunning golden elixir that the distillers immediately christened ‘Camikara’ literally meaning liquid gold, a name of Sanskrit derivation, keeping true to our Indian heritage at Piccadily Distilleries.
