FAQs

What does “Small Batch” mean for the 18 YO?
Only 150 casks are married at a time under the Malt Master’s supervision to ensure concentrated, consistent flavour.

How is it different from the 15 Year Old?
The 15 YO is honeyed and spicy (Solera process); the 18 YO is oakier, fruitier, and more full-bodied.

Is it a “Sherry Bomb”?
No, it is balanced; Oloroso casks provide depth, but Bourbon casks prevent excessive sweetness.

How much does it cost in India?
Approximately ₹8,500–₹10,500 in Kolkata/Gurgaon/Delhi, ₹16,000–₹18,000 in Mumbai, ₹10,200 Duty Free.

What is the best way to drink it?
Neat or with a single large clear ice cube to maintain the oily, rich texture.
