Top Indian Whiskey Brands For A 'LIIT DIWALI'

Amrut Spectrum 004

Aromas of dried fruit, Christmas pudding, coconut cream, vanilla, toffee and sandalwood fill the nose, complemented by notes of blackberry jam, soft spice, vanilla sponge, sultanas, cream, aromatic oak and a hint of smoke throughout the palate.

Paul John Nirvana

Aromas of fruitcake, honeycomb and caramel fill the nose, and the palate offers notes of apricots, raisins, honey, apples and salted caramel.

Amrut Fusion

Amrut Fusion gets its name from the fact that it uses two barleys: Indian and Scottish - with the latter being peated for good measure.

Kamet Indian Single Malt Whisky

Aromas of dried fruit, citrus peel, oaky spice, vanilla and caramel fill the nose, complemented on the palate by notes of raisins, golden sultanas, dried apricots, peppery oak, vanilla, caramel and milk chocolate that linger in the finish.

Rampur Double Cask Single Malt Whisky

Aromas of tropical fruits mingle with sweet malt, oak, honey and dried fruits on the nose, and the palate offers notes of dark berries, dried fruits, cinnamon, nutmeg and salted caramel.

Indri Trini Three Wood Indian Single Malt

Aromas of black tea, caramelised pineapple, oak, vanilla, honey, raisins and sweet cherry fill the nose, complemented by notes of oak, vanilla, blackberries, hazelnuts, orange zest and caramel throughout the palate.

Paul John Bold

Bold was a 2015 addition to the core range. This is made entirely with Indian barley smoked using Islay peat to around 25ppm. A superb alternative to classic peated Scotch whisky.
