Copper color. Aromas and flavors of stewed plums, leather and dried dates, baker’s chocolate, and praline and maduro tobacco with a round, lively, dry medium body and a hot, appealing, long finish that shows impressions of figs and dates, fruit cake and pralines, leather and cherry pipe tobacco, and cocoa bean. For those that love bold and over proof sherry bombs; rich, leathery, and fruity notes that eventually fold into expressive and unique flavors with tons of depth and distinction.

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.
