D’YAVOL INCEPTION Wins ‘Best Overall Scotch’ at NYWSC 2024

D’YAVOL, a global luxury collective backed by Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan, is receiving these prestigious awards for its flagship whisky, INCEPTION.

The New York World Spirits Competition, part of The Tasting Alliance, is known for its rigorous blind tasting process and high standards. Judged by industry experts, the competition is recognising exceptional quality and craftsmanship in spirits, from legacy brands to emerging producers. Earning an NYWSC medal is marking a significant achievement, showcasing products for their excellence.

Shah Rukh Khan, co-founder of D’YAVOL, is saying, “INCEPTION’s award at the New York World Spirits Competition is showing that the finest things in life are crafted with care and passion.”

D’YAVOL INCEPTION is a multi-award-winning blend of eight rare single malts sourced from the Speyside, Highland, Lowland, and Island regions, aged up to 12 years. Some of the malts are maturing in tawny port and rare Madeira casks. Launched in 2023, it is non-chill filtered, ensuring its authentic flavour, mouthfeel, and character are preserved. The whisky offers layers of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and oak spice, balanced with subtle notes of smoked wood, ripe plums, spiced vanilla, and a gentle smokiness.

D’YAVOL INCEPTION is also winning numerous prestigious accolades, including Gold at the International Wine and Spirits Awards (IWSA), Double Gold at the New York World Spirits Competition, and ‘Blended Scotch of the Year’ at the Asia International Spirits Competition (AISC) in 2024.

Aryan Khan, co-founder of D’YAVOL, said, “Winning this prestigious award is both a validation and an inspiration for us at D'YAVOL. It’s proof that our belief in authenticity, quality, and craftsmanship resonates globally.”

Besides INCEPTION, D’YAVOL is offering a single estate vodka, produced in Poland, and a blended Scotch whisky, VORTEX. Both of these are winning multiple gold medals across recognised international platforms, such as the International Wine and Spirits Awards (IWSA) and the International Spirits Challenge (ISC) in 2024.
