Surrinder Kumar – The Man Who Put Indian Spirits on the Global Map
A name that commands reverence in the world of spirits, Surrinder Kumar is not just a master blender—he is the architect of India’s premium spirits revolution. With over three decades of relentless passion and innovation, he has reshaped global perceptions of what Indian spirits can be. His work isn’t just award-winning—it is nation-defining.
At a time when Indian spirits were barely a blip on the world radar, Surrinder dared to dream bigger. He was one of the earliest visionaries to craft Indian single malts that could stand at par with Scotch. Surrinder Kumar is not just blending spirits. He is blending legacy with innovation, tradition with terroir, and elevating India’s spirits reputation globally.
Master Of The Casks
Surrinder Kumar’s deep understanding of casks and maturation—especially in India’s extreme climate—sets him apart. Where others follow tradition, he experiments boldly, crafting whiskies that are truly unique in the global single malt world.
Managing 75,000 barrels in such conditions is a high-stakes challenge. With rapid ageing and risk of evaporation or bitterness, timing is everything. Surrinder’s precision, instinct, and decades of experience ensure every cask reaches its peak.
Blending tradition with bold vision, he’s not just a master blender—but the architect of India’s premium spirits revolution.
