Panaji: If you are a whisky lover, you would have experienced the magic of Scotch, known for its deep flavours, rich history and craftsmanship. Scotch has been one of the most sought-after spirits globally. In India, imported Scotch whisky is a luxury and a celebration. Whether it’s a special occasion, a gift or just an indulgent evening, a dram of fine Scotch is a ritual for many. With the demand increasing, several top Scotch whisky brands are now available in India.
Cheers group has unveiled an ambitious plan to triple its revenue in next couple of years by prioritizing premiumization and innovation in the Indian and International markets. The company unveiled groundbreaking Scotch– Labrodog Black Tartan Blended Scotch whisky.
The flagship ‘Labrodog Scotch whisky’ launched decade ago in India, inspired from Scotland’s picturesque Highland landscapes and history. It’s produced in picturesque Scotland. The brand is known for its commitment to quality and its unique approach to Scotch whisky making.
The blend comprises carefully selected single malts — bourbon barrel-aged and single grain whiskies. The final product is finished in exquisite casks, adding richness and a layered, nuanced complexity to the flavour profile.
The whisky has a rich, gold hue, not unlike the colour of the many gold medals it has won. The nose features a combination of rich and smooth profile, especially pineapple, peaches, and coconut, with hints of citrus, caramel, and cinnamon spice.
It’s smooth and creamy on the palate, with a mouth-coating texture and distinctive weight. It features Flavors of honey, Crème Brulé, mixed nuts, and a touch of assorted wood spices and that’s — Labrodog Black Tartan Blended Scotch whisky.
