No input to form the query While there are so many fabulous single malts out there, what about those sociable evenings where folks prefer quantity over quality? The usual suspects in Mumbai for around Rs 1,000 are Blender’s Pride, Antiquity Blue, etc. However one evening, supplies were dwindling and the local liquor store didn’t have any of these. That’s when my friendly neighbourhood ‘wine’ shop suggested MaQintosh. Thanks to Amrut‘s marketing efforts (with a nod to Jim Murray‘s Whisky Bible review), most would have heard of this Indian international contender in the single malt category. However few outside of India’s local booze shops would know of MaQintosh. Touted as a ‘Premium’ whisky, just what the heck? Well… it immediately comes across as fake Scottish with appalling spelling… I mean after all isn’t ‘u’ after ‘q’?? It declares boldly that it is ‘genuinely’ made from Scottish and Indian malts…

It is also ‘aged’ and ‘married’ in imported Oak barrels Admits uses ‘permitted’ caramel Strength 42.8% and NASvitamix blender beograd Price Rs 900 in Mumbai (That’s $15 for you folks who don’t live in India!)cuisinart csb-33 hand blender quick prep And tasting notes of the whisky?cuisinart blender spb 10ch Nose – Toffee sweetbreville hand blender 500w review Palate – Mildly oaky, apples, pleasant but not memorablebreville control grip immersion blender (bsb510xl)

Case in point, several parties later, I can’t quite seem to convince anyone to polish off the bottle. However… this experiment in party whisky made clear… that while I try to keep an open mind when tasting (and prefer blind sampling), I would honestly rather quaff water than party whisky. But that’s just slightly snobby me. Don’t let me stop you! Amrut Single Malt, Fusion, Peated The surprising Amrut Spectrum 50%
