Indian Single Malt, Blended, Rye and Peated Whiskies
Most of Indian whiskies are distilled using fermented molasses, and the rest of the world can look at this as more of a rum drink rather that whisky, but as the Middle East, Asia and of course India look upon Indian whisky as whisky we felt this should be included within the site as it there is a massive market within these countries.
It is interesting that in India, only homemade whiskies are sold within the country as the government has made it very hard for outsiders to sell as there is a tax of over 500% for importers.
On this page there are Single Malt Indian Whisky, Indian Blended Whisky, and Indian Rye Whisky, and there is a good selection. The majority of the whisky on this page is priced under £100, so if you're looking to buy on of the Indian whiskies, you know that the price should suits your requirements
Amrut is the first Indian whisky to meet EU regulations, and you will find this whisky sold throughout Europe thanks to their Newcastle-based distributor. A website where you can find interesting facts regarding Indian Whisky is the Amrut Whisky Website
