Gold color. Aromas and flavors of camphor, light peat smoke, smoked honey and sweet barley, dried apricot, leather, dried grass, and and anise root with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a warming, delightful, medium-length finish with accents of grilled apricot, dried orange and camphor, caramel roasted malt, smoky leather, and umami like grilled mushrooms. Youthful but complex, and certainly giving homage to the great Whiskey distillers of Scotland while adding its own unique twist; wonderful as a sipper and bold enough to pair with mild to medium cigars.

Whiskey became part of Indian culture due to the British rule and influence; today, it is quite popular. Much Indian rums is based on molasses, which makes these products actually closer to rum, but in recent decades, traditional whiskeys, made from malted grains, are now being produced and there are even single malts made in India. There are a little more than a dozen distilleries in the country and India is one of the largest producers of whiskey in the world.
