Gold color. Aromas and flavors of pickled dates and figs, cocoa and warm vinyl, dry leaves and dried red fruits, and multigrain bread with a round, vibrant, dry light-to-medium body and a peppery, engaging, medium-long finish imparting nuances of grilled banana bread, pickled red fruit, faux leather, and persimmon jam. Complex and interesting with a menagerie of flavors; worth the time to try.

About

Indian Whisky

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.
