DeVANS, the house behind the globally acclaimed GianChand single malt, has unveiled a distinctive festive collection; the GianChand Musical Gift Boxes. Blending tradition, art and innovation, these limited-edition boxes are crafted to celebrate the cultural legacy of Jammu, opening to the brand’s signature GianChand tune and adorned with the region’s famed Basohli Art, an 18th-century miniature painting style native to the Himalayan foothills.
Each gift box reflects the essence of its homeland. The GianChand Manshaa Music Box features the iconic Chenab Rail Bridge set against a serene winter backdrop of roses, pine trees and snow-capped peaks, while the GianChand Adambaraa Music Box captures Jammu’s lush gardens framed by its mountain ranges, together symbolizing the harmony between landscape and craftsmanship.
Both expressions have earned international recognition for their distinctive character and world-class quality. GianChand Manshaa, DeVANS’ first peated single malt, has been praised by whisky legend Jim Murray for its “charming smokiness, with peat in all its sparkling form.” It recently won the Grand Gold and the title of International Whisky of the Year at Meininger’s International Spirits Award (ISW) 2025 in Germany.
 Meanwhile, GianChand Adambaraa continues to captivate connoisseurs across borders. Murray described it as “the closest to a high-class Scottish malt I have found anywhere in the world, let alone in India.” The expression also clinched the title of Best Indian Single Malt Whisky at the International Whisky Competition (IWC) 2025 in Las Vegas.
This festive season, GianChand invites whisky lovers to savour the spirit of Jammu through these artistic musical gift boxes, each accompanied by two German crystal glasses, a true ode to craftsmanship, culture and creativity that resonates with every note. |
