Celebrated annually on the 18th of May, World Whisky Day is the perfect time to restock the spirit and complete your home bar. Here are some of the must-have whiskies you need to add to your collection.
Indian single malts have a global reputation and Amrut is one of the choicest brands to have a bottle. With tropical fruit notes and warm finish, it perfectly captures the Indian climate.
Glenfiddich’s single malt has fruity and mellow taste that is perfect for beginners exploring scotch without making the sips too intense or smoky.
The triple distillation process of irish whisky makes is super easy sip. Be it for casual meetups or mixing into highballs, Jameson’s irish whisky would be the most approachable option.
As the name suggests, blended scotch combines multiple whiskies to achieve a balanced profile. Johnie Walker Black Label is popular for its smooth and subtle smoky notes.
Smooth like a Taylor Swift song, Tennessee whisky has a slightly sweet undertone. To mix with cola or highballs, Jack Daniel is one one of the most crowd pleasing options.
