Whisky Review: Rampur Select Indian Single Malt Whisky

It’s hard to say exactly what owes to the Himalayan atmosphere, but Rampur Select captures many of the familiar traits of unpeated, aged single malts without needing an age statement. It also has a lightness and sweetness which maintains a distinctly Indian character. While it has a pleasant, flavorful palate for something that likely didn’t require more than a decade of aging, its taste never evolves into something especially complex beyond the initial pleasant profile.rnrnDespite this limitation, I found this to be an enjoyable expression to be appreciated unmixed, and a promising indication of what Himalayan aging can produce.
