What it is

Indian Whisky: the world's biggest whisky market drinks its own way — molasses-and-grain spirits aged briefly in the heat, plus a rising class of true single malts from Goa and the Himalayan foothills. Origins: British officers brought whisky tastes in the 1800s; Indian distillers adapted to local materials and climate, and Amrut's 2004 single malt stunned the world. Made from: grain and often molasses-based spirit (for the big-selling IMFL blends); single malts from Indian barley. How it's made: 1) Distil and blend at scale for the domestic giants. 2) Age fast — Indian heat evaporates 10-12% a year (the angel's share is greedy). 3) Single malts rest in Bourbon and sherry casks. Served: with water or soda ('whisky paani'), or neat for malts. Flavor: big brands — sweet, smooth, easy; malts — tropical fruit, spice, oak. Strength: 42.8% standard in India. Culture: India consumes more whisky than any nation on Earth — roughly half the world's total. See also: Feni, Arrack.
