I’m a long-time fan of Indian single malts; they are unique in and upon themselves, and each is a new adventure. BHAKTA Spirits cranked up a couple of notches with its 2012 Indian Single Malt finished in ancient Armagnac casks. My review provides all the details. Cheers! #DrinkCurious

Whisky Review Time --- Paul John Select Cask Indian Single Malt

India is not known as a whisky producing country. Scotland, sure, Kentucky, definitely, but India hasn't exactly earned a reputation for making great whisky which is unfortunate, because I will say up front this is a great whisky. India actually has quite a long history of whisky making going back to the 19th century when India was a British colony. The Scots brought whisky to India, setting distilleries all over the country to supply British soldiers and merchants with their daily drink. The Paul John distillery is located in Goa which is on the west coast of southern India.

John Distilleries is a very new business relatively speaking, first making blended whiskys upon opening in 1992 and not making a single malt until 2008.

Paul John Single Malt Select Cask is made with a mash bill of malted barely, aged in ex bourbon barrels for 7 years, and has an alcohol content of 55.2%. Being a select cask means that it is specially bottled from what the master distiller believes to be the best casks after sampling, which are then blended.

When I bought a bottle of this it had a retail price of around $100 but it was on clearance sale for $40. This made me wonder if I made a mistake as I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my father. Fortunately this turned out to be a good purchase because this whisky is fantastic! Upon nosing I get very delightful aromas of fresh fruits such as apples and pears with some dried fruits like raisins and prunes. It is very sweet smelling, and like it's smell it is also very sweet tasting. Upon tasting again I get notes of fresh apples and pears, sherry, honey, some oak, maybe a little cinnamon, and a good amount of bready flavor from the malted barley. The flavors of it are very rich, very bold, and very complex which is something that I like when it comes to whisky or whiskey. All around it's flavor profile is very delightful. It finishes with a nice peppery burn that warms the mouth all the way to the stomach. That would be the 55.2 % alcohol, which is a bit higher than most whiskies. Regardless the burn is not overwhelming but very pleasant and mellow, which is a sign of a good whiskey. I know in other reviews I complained that a whiskey was too boozy, but in the case of bad whiskies the alcohol overwhelms any flavors, making it just burny cheap alcoholic nastiness. With this whisky the higher proof complements and enhances the flavors. I rate it 4.9 out of 5. My only complaint is that it is hard to find, and if I do find it, I'm probably not going to be able to buy it for $40 again.

IMFL Market Analysis, Growth and Key Players

The Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) Market is a dynamic and integral part of India's alcoholic beverage industry. This segment encompasses a diverse range of spirits produced domestically, drawing inspiration from foreign distillation techniques and recipes. The IMFL Market has witnessed substantial growth in recent years, fueled by changing consumer preferences, rising disposable incomes, and an expanding urban population. Let's delve into the key aspects of the IMFL Market, exploring its prominent companies and the factors driving its growth.

Overview of the IMFL Market:

The IMFL Market includes various types of liquors such as whiskey, rum, brandy, vodka, and gin. These beverages are crafted within India, incorporating both indigenous and foreign influences to create distinctive flavor profiles. Unlike country liquor, which is typically produced and consumed locally, IMFL represents a more sophisticated and diverse category catering to a broad consumer base.

IMFL in Focus: Indian Made Foreign Liquor

Within the Spirits Market, IMFL refers to a category of liquors produced in India but influenced by foreign distillation methods. This segment includes various types of spirits, each with its own characteristics:

Whiskey: Known for its diverse styles, including single malt, blended, and grain whiskey, offering a range of flavors from smoky to sweet.

Rum: Embracing sweetness and often featuring spiced variations, Indian rum brings its own flair to the global rum scene.

Brandy: Crafted from fermented fruit juices, Indian brandy offers a fruity and often smoother alternative to its international counterparts.

Vodka: Prized for its neutrality, Indian vodka is versatile and serves as a base for a wide range of cocktails.

Gin: Exhibiting herbal and botanical notes, Indian gin has gained popularity as consumers explore craft and artisanal options.

Key Players in the IMFL Market

Several companies play a pivotal role in shaping the IMFL segment and contributing to the overall growth of the Spirits Market:

United Spirits Limited (USL): As one of the largest spirits companies in India, USL boasts an extensive portfolio that includes iconic brands like McDowell's No. 1, Royal Challenge, and Signature.

Radico Khaitan Limited: Known for its flagship brand, Rampur Indian Single Malt Whisky, Radico Khaitan has made a mark in the premium spirits segment.

Diageo India: A subsidiary of the global beverage giant Diageo, Diageo India has a strong presence with brands like Johnnie Walker, Black & White, and VAT 69.

Sazerac Company: While based in the United States, Sazerac has made significant inroads into the Indian market with its acquisition of Radico Khaitan's stake in their joint venture.

Factors Driving Growth in the IMFL Market:

Changing Consumer Preferences: The evolving tastes and preferences of consumers, especially among the younger demographic, are driving the demand for diverse and premium IMFL products.

Rising Disposable Incomes: Increasing disposable incomes, particularly in urban areas, enable consumers to explore and invest in higher-priced and premium IMFL offerings.

Marketing and Innovation: Intensive marketing strategies and innovative product launches by key players contribute to the overall growth of the IMFL Market. Brands often engage in promotional activities and introduce new variants to capture consumer attention.

Urbanization and Lifestyle Changes: The urbanization trend, coupled with changing lifestyles, has led to a shift in drinking patterns. Consumers are seeking more sophisticated and curated drinking experiences, contributing to the popularity of IMFL products.

Challenges and Future Outlook:

While the IMFL Industry continues to thrive, it faces challenges such as regulatory constraints, changing government policies, and increasing health consciousness among consumers. However, with a focus on innovation, responsible marketing, and catering to evolving consumer preferences, the IMFL Market is poised for sustained growth.

In conclusion, the IMFL Market in India is a vibrant and evolving landscape, with leading companies shaping the industry's trajectory. As consumers embrace diverse and premium choices, the IMFL segment remains a key player in the country's dynamic alcoholic beverage market.

We have done a great deal with different states and profited from their various dealers. And according to the research report, the market is expected to grow at a faster rate by 2025 than we expected as the demand for the product increases. 

Kizansh Group is developing a premium brand of foreign spirits and other malt whisky. They started manufacturing the premium brand for many years because some malt needs more time to ferment and create the special malt of Irish whisky.   

Because they follow the fermentation and master blend methods of the whisky and malt. They create a combination of Irish whisky masterpieces.  The combination of these processes allows the Kizansh Group to create an unmatched flavor of whisky and malt. This flavor is unique, and it is quickly gaining popularity among connoisseurs of fine spirits. 

Irish whiskey uses barley, and other whiskeys are made with corn, rye, or wheat. And a key difference between Irish whiskey and American whiskey is the length of foreign whiskey production.  The Indian market loves whisky the most. And India comes out as the top whiskey, Vodka, and premium liquor country.   Most of the Indian whisky is malt whisky, as opposed to other countries where grain whisky is more popular.
