Made from bittersweet apples and aged in French oak, the robust flavors of this aptly named cider were second to none in 2017.

The first thing that comes to mind when someone says ‘single malt’ is probably not India, though Indian whiskies are showing more and more promise each year. While the majority of what is made and sold within India as ‘whisky’ is molasses based spirit blended with grain based spirit, and therefore not considered whiskey by European standards, the single malts are the real deal. Produced in the same way as the single malts in Scotland, Indian single malts are carefully crafted from malted barley, distilled in pot stills, and aged for at least 3 years before being released.
