India is making wines and whiskies that are the envy of the world; and behind them are stories of creativity, fraternity and good old-fashioned ingenuity.
Even those of us who are extremely proud of India’s tradition of food and drink will pause a little before daring to sing the praises of our domestic whiskies. And as for Indian wine, the general rule has been that the greater the hype, the festivals, the concerts, etc, the more likely it is to taste like the effluent excreted by a cat.
When it comes to whisky, it is not hard to see what the problem is.
