Why Is The Indian Malt, Best Whiskey?
The whiskey has the distinctive tropical fruity aromas of Rampur along with hints of plum, blackberry, and apricot. It is mixed with a little tobacco and spice flavour. On the taste, manuka honey sweetness is complemented by spicy oak, vanilla, and a hint of dryness from Indian red wine. It creates a velvety sensation.
Rampur Asava’s finish is distinguished by an Indian trail that lingers with a medium and tantalizingly long-lasting generosity. The Indian Malt is available at Duty-Free for Rs 9,390.
