Indian Whisky
GianChand Premium Single Malt Whisky by DeVANS is distilled in Jammu, that lies at the foothills of Himalayas. Drawing from the climate, water and minerals of the region, this single lets you savour the taste of the ancient town of Jammu with its unmatchable and distinct flavour. Aged in specially designed copper pots that have long swan necks, the whisky has peaty fruit notes, coming together to create distinct taste. This Indian whisky is a global favourite as it was hailed by global whisky critic Jum Murray as the best single from India in recent times. The backbone of vanilla along with a drop of pineapple sweetness and a hint of barley makes it a must have experience, truly showcasing the true spirit of India.
Irish Whisky
Gold Spot 13 Year Old Generations Edition is a special edition of Gold Spot. This Irish whisky commemorates seven generations of the Mitchell family, the creators of Spot Whisky and one of Ireland’s most prominent wine dynasties. Once again, Gold Spot promotes the use of wine casks in whisky, with this 13-year-old whisky beginning in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks before maturing for 16 months in Valpolicella Riciotto Italian wine casks. This enhances the whiskey’s mild peppery character, bringing layers of dark fruit, berry compote, and sweet oak to the palate and lingering on the finish.
Scotch Whisky
Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky comes from Scotland, as the name implies. Glenfiddich, a giant, was founded by William Grant in 1876, and the first spirit was distilled in 1887. Today, his descendants control the company, and as the first whisky to market itself as a single malt, Glenfiddich today accounts for around 30% of all single malt sales globally. The distinctive triangular green bottle debuted in 1957.
Japanese Whisky
Yamazaki 12 Year Old is a Japanese single malt whisky. It is one of the first Japanese single malts to enter the UK market. Suntory’s Yamazaki 12 Year Old continues to impress with its well-balanced fruity sweetness, which appeals to both new and veteran whisky lovers. The whisky is a pioneering malt in Japan, and Suntory deserves credit. It was rounded and soft at first, but it has since become more intense, confident, and exquisite.
Canadian Whisky
Canadian Club Premium Extra-Aged Blended Whisky is the best in that region. Canadian Club has been bottled since 1858, and was initially known as ‘Club Whisky’ due to its popularity in gentleman’s clubs. Prohibition was the catalyst for Canadian whisky’s rise to prominence. While US Spirit production was practically halted, Canadian Club grew in popularity in the United States after being illegally smuggled across the border. Canadian Club is the only recognised Canadian whisky in the UK, as well as the only Canadian whisky that is blended before maturing, resulting in a smooth and mellow flavour unlike any other. It is double distilled and matured in white oak barrels, yielding a distinct, light-flavored, very mixable whisky.
