Overview
Camikara presents a new perspective on rum, rooted in the fertile lands of India. We are a single-estate rum producer, meaning every step, from growing the sugarcane to distilling the spirit, takes place under our watchful eyes. This dedication to vertical integration allows us to maintain exceptional quality and capture the purest expression of the sugarcane. Our small-batch production in traditional pot stills results in a rum with remarkable depth, complexity, and a distinct terroir. Camikara is more than just a spirit; it's a journey into the heart of Indian agriculture and craftsmanship.
Story
The story of Camikara begins amidst the swaying sugarcane fields of our family estate in Haryana. For generations, our land has been cultivated with care, and a deep connection to the agricultural heritage runs through our veins. Inspired by the abundance of high-quality sugarcane, the idea to create a truly exceptional Indian rum took root. We envisioned a rum that would showcase the natural sweetness and vibrant character of fresh cane juice, a departure from the more common molasses-based rums. Embracing traditional pot distillation methods, typically reserved for our malt production during the off-season, we embarked on a journey to craft a spirit that embodies the essence of our land. "Camikara," a name that evokes the golden sweetness of sugarcane, became the embodiment of this vision – a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of India and the art of fine rum making.
