Globus Spirits Launches DŌAAB Expression 02: The Old Man & The Blossom

Globus Spirits has launched DŌAAB Expression 02: The Old Man & The Blossom is a limited release Indian Single Malt whisky. Crafted at the India Craft Spirits Co. distillery in Behror, Rajasthan, it is made from sustainably sourced Indian six-row barley and matured in Mizunara oak casks from Hokkaido, Japan, a fusion between Indian distilling mastery and Japan’s revered cask-making tradition.

This is an industry first – Indian Single Malt Whisky matured in the legendary Japanese Mizunara Oak Cask limited to only 500 casks.

Shekhar Swarup, Joint Managing Director, Globus Spirits Ltd., said, “With DŌAAB Expression 02, we continue to explore the art of storytelling through whisky. This expression represents a dialogue between two cultures, India and Japan, and between two philosophies, heritage and innovation. Each bottle is a meditation on time, patience, and craftsmanship, brought together by our belief that great spirits are born when tradition meets curiosity.”

P.S. Gill, CEO, Consumer Division, Globus Spirits Ltd., added, “India’s single malt category is growing in double digits, driven by evolving tastes and an increasing sense of pride among consumers. With DŌAAB, our vision is to redefine what an Indian single malt can stand for, globally relevant, deeply authentic, and unmistakably crafted.”

DŌAAB Expression 02: The Old Man & The Blossom debuted in Gurugram priced at ₹3500 – ₹3800 and will soon be available in premium outlets in select markets across India. On the nose it offers delicate fresh florals layered with the warmth of vanilla. The palate is smooth with a velvety mouthfeel with a long and elegant finish.

This milestone triumph underscores DŌAAB’s commitment to redefining the Indian whisky narrative through a seamless blend of heritage, innovation, and uncompromising quality.

Aged exclusively in 100% ex-bourbon barrels, this limited-edition single malt offers an evocative journey of flavour, a sensorial celebration rooted in Indian tradition and elevated by modern expression.

On the nose, it bursts with tropical fruits, golden honey, and creamy vanilla, elegantly intertwined with notes of dried dates, toffee, and charred oak. The palate unfolds with layered richness, nutty barley malts, cinnamon, warm spices, and toasted almonds, finishing in a long, refined trail of vanilla, coconut, and mellow oak. With only 500 casks ever produced, DŌAAB stands as a bold and rare tribute to India’s evolving whisky identity.
