Gold color. Aromas and flavors of smoldering wood smoke fire baked sticky buns, apple jacks mixed with honey nut Cheerios, peat and sea spray with honey malt, sesame oil and honeycomb, and baked mac and cheese at a bbq buffet with a round, lively, dry medium-to-full body and an interesting, medium-long finish that shows nuances of Scotch at cask strength and apple cinnamon and honey nut Cheerios medley. Cask strength whiskey poured over your honey and apple cinnamon breakfast cereal mix; the intensity of the flavors is dialed in.

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.
