A Global Win For CASHMIR, India’s 1st Small-Batch Organic Vodka
Launched in May 2025 by Piccadilly Distilleries, CASHMIR vodka has marked a new chapter for India’s spirits industry. It has now won Gold at The Vodka Masters 2025 by The Spirits Business. This event is one of the most rigorous and respected competitions in the global spirits industry.
The competition evaluates vodkas from across the world through blind tastings conducted by expert panels of master distillers, spirit writers, and industry professionals. Its organic category specifically recognises vodkas that show exceptional quality while maintaining organic production standards. This stands as proof of CASHMIR’s commitment to “pure and additive-free craftsmanship.”

Crafted With Care & Purity
CASHMIR winning Gold is truly deserved. It is crafted with attention and precision. At its heart lies ‘Sona Moti’ or ‘Golden Pearl’, a rare 2,000-year-old organic heritage winter wheat. After nearly vanishing into extinction, it was revived after six years of effort and cultivated in enough quantities to distil a small batch of CASHMIR.
Speaking on this historic achievement, Shalini Sharma, Head of Marketing, Piccadilly Agro Industries, said, “This recognition is a victorious moment for CASHMIR and a proud triumph for India. It demonstrates that India can not only match but truly surpass the world’s finest in vodka craftsmanship.”
Sharma further adds, “CASHMIR, India’s first premium organic small-batch vodka, is born from world-class distillation and is deeply rooted in India’s terroir. With Sona Moti, we have once again championed innovation, bringing back a grain steeped in history and reimagining it for a new era of luxury spirits. CASHMIR is not just another vodka; it is liquid proof of India’s unstoppable rise in the global luxury landscape.”
CASHMIR undergoes 7x distillations for purity and 5x filtration through carbon, mango charcoal, and layers of platinum, gold, and silver. This process ensures a smooth, velvety finish. It also uses glacial water from the Kashmir Valley and contains zero sugar or artificial flavours.
