Royal Ranthambore Whisky Bottle Price in UP: 180 ML, 375 ML, 750 ML Rate

Royal Ranthambore whisky price in UP is ₹1,680 for a 750 ml bottle, just ₹10 less than Black & White on the same Lucknow shelf. That’s an unusually high price for an Indian whisky, and it’s deliberate. Radico Khaitan launched Royal Ranthambore to compete with entry-level Scotch rather than with Blenders Pride or Rockford. A half bottle costs ₹850 in UP, and a quarter costs ₹420. At those prices, the question for UP buyers isn’t whether Royal Ranthambore is good for an Indian whisky. It’s whether it’s worth choosing over a real Scotch at the same price.

Royal Ranthambore in UP at a Glance

Royal Ranthambore Price List for Uttar Pradesh

There’s one Royal Ranthambore blend, sold in three sizes. The UP MRP is the same across the state, so a bottle costs the same in Meerut, Moradabad or Mirzapur.

UP compared with Gurugram

Haryana doesn’t set a fixed MRP, but indicative prices across the border show how much UP’s taxes add:

On a half bottle, the gap is about ₹200, which is roughly 30% more than in Gurugram. Buyers in Noida and Ghaziabad who work in Gurugram will notice. UP’s limits on bringing in liquor from other states still apply, so any saving only makes sense within those limits.

Cost Per Peg in UP

In UP, all three sizes of Royal Ranthambore cost almost exactly the same per drink:

What that means for your wallet:

• The quarter costs only about ₹3 more per peg than the full bottle. Buy whichever size suits the occasion.
• Two halves cost ₹1,700, just ₹20 more than a full bottle. That’s a small premium for keeping one half sealed.
• At about ₹67 per peg, Royal Ranthambore costs more per drink than Black Dog Black Reserve or Teacher’s Highland Cream do in Lucknow.
• A 60 ml large peg from a home bottle costs roughly ₹134. That’s cheap compared with a hotel bar in Lucknow, but it’s a lot for an Indian whisky.

One Blend, Three Bottles

Radico keeps things simple in UP. There are no age-stated versions or limited editions of Royal Ranthambore on shelves, just the Heritage Collection blend in three sizes.

The 750 ml

The full bottle comes in the brand’s showpiece packaging, with a heavy glass bottle and a design built around the tiger. It’s the size most people buy as a gift, and at ₹1,680 it looks more expensive than it is when you’re visiting someone.

The 375 ml

The half bottle at ₹850 suits a dinner for two or three people. It’s also a sensible way to try the whisky before committing to a full bottle, since it costs the same per peg.

The 180 ml

The ₹420 quarter is for tasting it once. It’s worth buying first if you’re deciding between Royal Ranthambore and an entry-level Scotch, because six pegs is enough to form an opinion.

Other Radico whiskies nearby

In the same UP shops you’ll often find other Radico whiskies: Rampur Indian Single Malt at the top, the Sangam world malt, and Morpheus whisky. They show how Royal Ranthambore fits into the range. It sits above 8PM and Magic Moments and below the single malts.

Royal Ranthambore or Black & White?

In Lucknow these two cost almost the same, ₹1,680 against ₹1,690. One is an Indian luxury blend and the other is an entry-level Scotch.

Both cost ₹420 for a quarter, so you’re comparing on taste alone. Royal Ranthambore is richer and sweeter, with a fuller body that suits drinking it with a little water or over one ice cube. Black & White is drier and lighter, and it’s more at home in a tall glass of soda. If you’re buying a gift or you like a softer, sweeter whisky, choose Royal Ranthambore. If you want something crisp for highballs, Black & White is the better fit.

Tasting Notes: Royal Ranthambore Heritage Collection

In the glass it’s a warm gold with an amber tint.

Nose
 Orchard fruit comes first, mostly ripe apple and pear. Soft floral notes and a bit of citrus peel follow. As it sits, honey and dried fruit build up, with a gentle hint of spice.

Palate
 Smooth, and creamier than you’d expect. There’s toasted bread with butter, and a fruit-cake richness of plums and raisins. Baked apple and a light cocoa note appear toward the end. The sweetness is clear but doesn’t get sticky.

Finish
 Medium length and warm, fading into honey, oak and a slightly dry, spicy edge.

With water
 A splash of water brings out the fruit and softens the spice. Too much water flattens the buttery texture, which is one of the best things about this whisky. A 1:1 mix is the most dilution it handles well.

With ice
 One large cube works well. The whisky stays rich while the edges soften. Several small cubes in a hot UP summer will water it down too fast.

From Rampur to Ranthambore

Royal Ranthambore’s roots are in UP, even though its name comes from Rajasthan:

• Radico Khaitan started as the Rampur Distillery Company and has been operating from Rampur in western UP since 1943.
• For decades it mostly supplied bulk spirit to other companies. It launched its own first brand, 8PM Whisky, in 1998.
• Royal Ranthambore Heritage Collection was unveiled in October 2021. UP was one of the first states to get it, along with Karnataka, Goa, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Haryana.
• The blend uses blended malt Scotches from different regions of Scotland, made entirely from malted barley. Radico combines these with Indian grain spirit infused with oak.
• The name refers to Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan, famous for its tigers and its old fort. That’s why there’s a tiger on the bottle.
• In 2022 Radico launched the whisky in the United States, and Saif Ali Khan later became the face of its advertising.

What ₹1,680 Buys on a Lucknow Shelf

Royal Ranthambore sits among some well-known Scotch labels in UP. Here’s how it compares:

Three Scotch whiskies cost the same or less than Royal Ranthambore in UP. That makes it a stylistic choice, not the budget option. If you like sweet, rich, dessert-like whisky, it gives you more of that than any Scotch at this price. If you want Scotch specifically, or you like smoke, Teacher’s costs ₹100 less. If you mainly want a smooth Indian whisky, Rockford Reserve costs ₹660 less and is a sensible alternative.
