Medium light gold color. Aromas and flavors of orange zest and sandalwood, caramel and honey malt, lemongrass and menthol, and salt and toffee on bread pudding with a velvety, lively, dry light-to-medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-length finish revealing notes of honey malt, lychee, and elderflower, bamboo, watercress, and lemongrass, grilled cinnamon french toast, and apricot and tangerine. A grain-forward and pleasingly youthful Whisky that shows off the quality of the distillation and base ingredients.

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.
