From the foothills of the Himalayas, to Rajasthan’s baked deserts, all the way down to the rocky Deccan Plateau, India’s unique terroir is proving to be an ideal canvas for the surge of single malt whiskys. There is a growing appreciation of single malts in the country, especially those ideated and blended here. Since the early 2000s, a small group of Indian master blenders have been making memorable malts, winning awards at spirit competitions across the globe and enviable mentions in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible, the last word for the whisky connoisseur.
