First introduced by Shaw Wallace, Royal Challenge is now part of the United Spirits portfolio, a subsidiary of Diageo. Over the decades, it has established itself as an iconic national brand in India, closely associated with cricket sponsorships and celebratory occasions.
Launched in the 1980s, Royal Challenge became a landmark release as one of India's earliest premium blended whiskies. The spirit is crafted by blending rich Indian grain spirits with select imported Scotch malts for a distinct international character.
