- The spirit blends Indian Ayurvedic traditions with European distillation methods.
- It is infused with over 75 traditional Ayurvedic botanicals and Polish forest fruits.
Ayurvod, a craft spirit brand that uniquely merges Indian Ayurvedic traditions with European distillation, recently secured a Gold Medal at the World Liqueur Awards 2026 in London. This prestigious award follows an earlier Gold Medal win at the Warsaw Spirits Competition this year. The spirit is produced in Poland using a 40% ABV premium Polish wheat vodka base. Its distinctive flavor profile comes from an infusion of over 75 traditional Ayurvedic botanicals such as cardamom and turmeric, complemented by jaggery for sweetness and natural Polish forest fruits.
The creation of Malayali entrepreneur Midhun Mohan, Ayurvod was developed over several years in collaboration with Polish distiller Mariusz Pluciński. Their aim was to harmonize ancient Indian recipes with modern European distillation excellence. Mr. Mohan stated that the spirit was conceived as a cultural bridge, seeking to fill a void for premium spirits that authentically represent Indian heritage and Ayurvedic science on the international stage.
This success solidifies Ayurvod's position in the premium liqueur market. It demonstrates the successful integration of traditional Indian botanical knowledge with high-end global distillation practices. This is the second major spirits brand launched by Mr. Mohan, who previously introduced the Indian arrack 'Charayam' globally.
