Indian spirits brand Radico Khaitan has achieved a significant global milestone, with eight of its brands securing a place in Drinks International’s The Millionaires’ Club 2025, a prestigious annual list that features spirits brands selling over one million nine-litre cases in a calendar year. The achievement positions Radico Khaitan as the third-largest spirits company globally by number of millionaire brands, making it the only Indian name in the global top five.
The Millionaires’ Club, widely recognised as an authoritative ranking of global spirits success, highlights brands that have demonstrated substantial market traction.
This year, Radico Khaitan added a new entrant to the list, bringing its total to eight high-performing brands:
Magic Moments Vodka – Ranked the 6th largest vodka worldwide
After Dark Whisky – 3rd fastest-growing spirit globally
8PM Premium Black Whisky – 13th largest Indian whisky
Morpheus Brandy – 4th fastest-growing and 10th largest brandy globally
1965 Spirit of Victory Rum – Fastest-growing and 7th largest rum globally
8PM Whisky – 29th largest spirit brand globally
Old Admiral Brandy – 3rd fastest-growing and 4th largest brandy globally
Contessa Rum – 9th largest rum globally
“This appreciation is a proud moment for Radico Khaitan,” said Abhishek Khaitan, Managing Director, Radico Khaitan. “It reflects how our brands are competing with the best in the world, on the strength of quality, innovation, and deep consumer understanding. We have always believed in building brands that are world-class yet deeply rooted in Indian values, and this achievement reinforces that belief.”
Beyond volume, Radico Khaitan also leads in growth. Three of its brands — After Dark Whisky, Old Admiral Brandy, and Magic Moments Vodka — feature among the top 30 fastest-growing spirits globally. Notably, After Dark Whisky made its debut in the rankings this year, highlighting its accelerating popularity among consumers.
“Having eight of our brands rank among the world’s best-sellers highlights the impact of our strategy, the dedication of our team, and our ability to deliver at scale,” said Amar Sinha, Chief Operating Officer, Radico Khaitan. “We remain committed to delivering excellence and expanding the Company’s presence across international markets.”
Radico Khaitan’s international ambitions are reflected in its expanding premium portfolio, which includes luxury offerings like Rampur Indian Single Malt, Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin, Sangam World Malt Whisky, and Royal Ranthambore Whisky. With a presence in over 100 countries, the company continues to evolve from a dominant domestic player into a globally respected brand.
Founded in 1943 as Rampur Distillery Company, Radico Khaitan has a legacy in Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL). Since launching its own brands in 1998 with 8PM Whisky, the company has developed an extensive range of products entirely in-house. Today, its portfolio spans whiskies, vodkas, rums, brandies, and gins — all crafted to meet evolving consumer preferences across markets.
