Managing Director Bikram Basu says The Collective is designed to be acquired on pre order by serious collectors rather than sold at scale
Mumbai, 5 February 2026: ABD Maestro has unveiled The Collective, a new ultra luxury spirits initiative defined by extreme rarity, long aged provenance, and a deliberate focus on collectors rather than volume led distribution.
The first expression under The Collective is a 34 year old Speyside Single Malt Scotch whisky, distilled in 1991 at the Macallan Distillery and matured for more than three decades. The release is restricted to just 60 hand filled decanters, each individually numbered, engraved, and manually gold lettered in Scotland.
The whisky is presented in a handmade wooden outer box, with visible evidence of craftsmanship and individuality. Each bottle is accompanied by a personally signed letter from Ranveer Singh, who is a co founder of ABD Maestro. The expression is priced at ₹11 lakh for a 700 ml bottle in Maharashtra and is available strictly through pre order, travel retail, and select cities in India.
According to the company, the 34 year old single malt balances delicate floral notes and soft citrus with malty depth and sherry led richness, reflecting extended maturation and traditional Speyside character. The whisky has been custom made for ABD Maestro in collaboration with Speyside Capital, which has acted as the brand and project partner for the release.
Commenting on the release, Bikram Basu, Managing Director of ABD Maestro, said the intent behind The Collective is to curate spirits that are acquired rather than sold. He said each edition is shaped by quiet luxury, uncompromising craftsmanship, and a belief that rarity and provenance carry value in themselves for collectors and connoisseurs.
The company said future expressions under The Collective will continue to focus on long aged, limited availability spirits, positioning India as a destination for discerning collectors seeking access to rare global whisky expressions without compromising on authenticity or craft.
ABD Maestro operates as the super premium and luxury spirits arm of Allied Blenders and Distillers, with a portfolio focused on small batch releases, heritage driven sourcing, and collector oriented positioning.
