This whisky is quite irritating. For $75, which includes two glasses, there must be a significant flaw given the increasing prices of Indian whisky. Yet, I'm finding it difficult to identify any shortcomings. It's not particularly complex. And if you're sensitive to sulfur, the hint of fireworks on the nose might be off-putting. However, it's well-balanced for a sherry cask finish, offering more dark chocolate and dried fruits than simple sugar, with just the right amount of dryness for a satisfying conclusion. And the touch of sulfur on the nose is exactly to my preference. Part of me wishes it cost $50 more so I could more easily resist buying a bottle. But at this price, I'll likely find it hard to pass up if I see it again. So, please do me a favor and buy them all before I can – I have neither the space nor the desire for more bottles.

Tasted the Indian Peated and the Fusion. I've found this to be equivalent in taste, cheers to those who share this opinion! The gift pack with 2 glasses was worth the cost.
A very good single malt. Lots of spice. A very pleasant, long-lasting taste with rich fruit notes.
Excellent for the cost! A really good deal. August 2024, tried it on ice, still enjoy it.
Flavorful, clearly a sweeter Sherry from the casks (PX?) Impressively good.
