Tasting Notes

About:

No age statement (NAS). 80 proof, 40% ABV. Mash bill: 100% malted barley sourced from “blended malt scotches from different geographical regions” blended with oak-infused neutral grain spirit from India.
Appearance:
The bottle is ribbed and includes a circular embossing on the back. The liquid’s color is amber and candied orange peel.
Nose:
A pleasant blend of stone fruit, sweet citrus, and a subtle smokiness.
Palate:
A mellow, smoke-forward sip that hints at something more, but never developed into any complexity. However, there was an enjoyable warmth for this 80 proof.
Finish:
The warm tails off to a medium-short finish.
Comments:
Royal Ranthambore is a perfectly serviceable blended whisky. There just wasn’t any single trait that elevated it past middling for me. However, with an ever-increasing number of products from India being sold in Europe and the United States, it shouldn’t take a consumer too long to settle on an Indian whisky that suits their palate.
