Whisky production has evolved in the last few years, in India. As per a Spokesperson of Paul John Distillery, “Changes are being seen and felt across, all Indian whisky has been changing on all points over the last few years. As consumers become more aware, and with more international brands now available, Indian Whiskies discovered the need to hold their own against global products and have striven to do so with success. New technology and innovations have been introduced across the board, including innovative packaging, better testing in accordance with global norms and information available on the labels as per FSSAI implementation in the country. More and more whiskies are using high quality Indian malt spirit along with grain-based ENA or even pure malts and Single Malts, all of which require not only resources and innovation but also need much stricter Quality Assurance processes.

Indian whisky (IMFL) historically has been made from molasses-based ENA blended with flavours due to the high availability of the by-product in our country. Over time, consumers have developed a taste for grain based and malt based whiskies and as such, the core DNA of most Indian whiskies has changed from cane based to grain based. The economy segment across India still dominates the volume of alcohol consumption. Having said that, we have observed that with the improvement in standard of living coupled with the awareness, exposure and evolving preferences will certainly redefine the Indian consumption pattern.

Though according to Mr. ThiruvikramNikam, Joint Managing Director of Amrut Whiskies,“The process of whisky production is more or less standard across the globe. However, there has been a massive change in the technology leading to improvements in the quality of the products while being environment conscious. Styling is an ongoing change that reflects the trend to connect in different ways with the customers.Though the basic production process remains the same but there is an increasing use of Grain Alcohol in Whisky making in India instead of Molasses Alcohol. Also increasing blending with Indian Malt spirit alongwith Scotch Malts.

The key factor in terms of production norms is sustainability and quality assurance. This includes the ability to consistently source high quality raw and packing materials as well as establish and maintain control on the factory floor to ensure consistent quality is provided. Based on one’s experience, these factors vary from one company to another. General key factors revolve around the raw materials, fermentation time, pot stills, casks etc., to produce quality new make spirit and by extension a great malt whisky.

Today’s Indian consumer is much more globally aware. They are highly exposed to global/international products and therefore are constantly and actively seeking out new and exciting options. Alcoholic beverages are now more acceptable, and the urban consumer specially is more educated and prefers to shop in large format stores where he can explore a wider range of options.The data reveals that there is a surge in sales of premium products which only goes to show that consumer exposure and preferences have evolved to enjoy better character and profile of whisky, rum or brandy. Also, the fact that availability and consumption of variety of brands from across the globe is an indication of the evolving consumer pattern. According to Sanjeev Banga, President, RadicoKhaitan, a leading Indian Company, “The Indian consumer has evolved a lot in the past few years and if fairly knowledgeable. They are seeking better quality products and willing to experiment and try newer blends.

There are new trends being witnessed in consumer behaviour as well. Product innovation and premiumisation are the key and bodes well for the future of Whisky in India. The Indian consumer demands high quality both in product and packaging, while still seeking value. MOTs and Modern trade outlets that allow consumers to enjoy a personal shopping experience will continue to grow, in turn encouraging consumers to explore multiple brands in addition to their brand of choice, their preferences may change based on occasion as well.

Consumers are showing keenness to enjoy quality products. Seeing this change, companies are gearing up to move towards premium segment of supply. In terms of marketing, the virtual whisky releases and tastings are here to stay for a while. The pandemic has made that aspect of brand building and storytelling possible with the consumer.Pandemic has resulted in more home consumption, upgradation to premium brands and taboos relating to alcohol consumption are coming down. More and more consumers are now drinking to enjoy and celebrate rather than to get drunk.

So what are the new consumer consumption patterns in India.! According to a Spokesperson from Paul John Distillery, “ The biggest change has been the acceptability of alcoholic beverages as just another beverage and their entry into the urban households. Today, it is quite acceptable to offer a guest a drink at home. This has allowed for consumption patterns to shift from a drinking session to sessions with friends and family where alcohol may also be served.The consumers today are much more evolved due to their exposure to more options. They know their tastes and are not afraid to experiment. This change is observed across all age groups, but mostly at the prestige and above price points.The consumers are becoming creators in their own right. While enjoying their whisky in the traditional way, they are also engaging in putting together easy-to-make cocktails that can give their favorite whisky a new dimension.According to Sanjeev Banga, “ There is increasing acceptance of the fact that India today is producing World Class Whiskies be it Blended or Single Malts. The Indian consumer now takes pride in the consuming Indian products and the craze for imported brands in gradually coming down.

There have been changing consumer preferences towards Whisky Styles, Regions, Countries, Palate as well. The biggest change is the move towards authentic, malt-based whiskies. As they experiment with various styles of whiskies, the consumers are developing sophisticated palates which allow for more variety in styles and finishes. Going forward, special finish whiskies will grow in size as they offer the consumer something over and above the standard fare. Though according to Mr. ThiruvikramNikam, Joint Managing Director of Amrut Whiskies, “Indian are known to like smoky whiskies (in varying range of intensity) and we have also observed that people take great liking towards having whiskies from across the globe. The consumers are wide ranging. They are new and evolved, young and older. They offer a mixture of opinions and views that brands are out to seek.More and more people are now drinking to enjoy the moment, be it with family, friends or in celebration of an occasion.

Indian are appreciating&enjoying their whiskies, more than ever before. Every consumer has his own way of enjoying a Whisky. Overall, however, we can say that consumers enjoy whiskies as they are, with less emphasis on flavoured mixers.People are enjoying their whiskies the way they like it and that is how it should be. Having said that, for a malt enthusiast, it is an exploration and normally they enjoy it neat or with a splash of water.Along with premium product offerings the resultant packaging has also improved tremendously and now you can get world class Indian products in packaging similar to international brands.

One of the key factors has been the change in packaging. Brads including Amorim Top Series, Portugal and Bruni Glass, Italy besides Wade Ceramics, England are offering world class solutions to the Indian spirit industry. Packaging has definitely changed over time. FSSAI and global packing norms have been key drivers in this change, consumers have also actively encouraged this change due to the growing urge to know what they are buying. Detailed information on labels, innovative designs that catch the eye and emphasise the quality of the liquid etc are specially noticed with regard to premium categories. According to ThiruvikramNikam, “Today brands are using the packaging to convey the uniqueness of their produce and enlighten the consumers to read and make a choice.

So after all this does Age continue to be a huge factor with Indian consumers. According to Paul John, “ Age is definitely a factor but more for the manufacturer than the consumer. With the much higher efficacy of maturation in the subcontinent, a whisky aged for 3 years here displays similar maturity to whiskies aged 8-12 years in colder climates like Scotland. The correct ageing of whisky is very important for manufacturers to get the product right. The consumer relates more with the experience of the finished product. Global malts are also slowly moving away from making age statements in acknowledgement of this fact, It is an undisputable fact that ageing of whisky is imperative to relish and enjoy it. Age plays an essential role in shaping up the whisky. However, the length of ageing depends and varies from place to place. Consumers now know better to look beyond the age and enjoy the whisky on its merit.

Though RadicoKhaitan, the makers of Rampur Single Malt Indian Whisky avers, Sanjeev Banga President, states, “ We strongly believe Age is just a number. Specially in Indian weather conditions where malt maturation is 3 to 4 times faster than Scotland. What is important is the taste of the whisky on the palate and not the Age. More and more consumers, specially for Single Malts are now aware of the fact that Single Malts coming from new world may not carry any Age Statement but are at par, if not better than number of brands that carry age statements.

Trade Channels

The pandemic has virtually wiped out the on-premise channel. This has made the off/retail channel much more important than it previously was.In India, trade and channels vary from state to state based on state government policies. Now retailers are offering consumers a retail experience unlike before. Yes, very much so. The threat of the pandemic has made people wary on close quarter engagements and gathering. While social distancing is the norm, a lot of the consumer outreach program has taken stream virtually offering a unique solution and opportunities for brand building and marketing.Online and Home delivery are the new norms. Though still at a nascent stage in India but growing everyday.

Brand Marketing & Consumer Outreach

With the decimation of on-premise channels, it is no longer possible to allow consumers to experience new products or to pair food and drink for a new experience. In store marketing options are also highly limited. Thus marketing and consumer outreach has moved from the physical world to mass and virtual media where consumers share their experiences and build communities around brands. Since advertising is still not legally allowed for the industry in India, this means that consumer outreach is primarily based on word of mouth on social platforms today.

Digital marketing and social media are the new buzz words and their influence will keep growing in future

A Toast to the Future

Whisky accounts for nearly 70% of all spirit sales in the country. It is. While a lot of the categories in India are being shaken up and are creating a lot of buzz and activity, whisky is the dominant category in India and will remain to be for the foreseeable future.This is not likely to change in the immediate future. Though Gin as a category is growing at a very rapid pace, but on a very small base. Whisky will continue to flourish in India, however the next few years look tough for Made-In-India whiskies due to changing govt. policies. While we have already achieved parity or surpassed most global brands in terms of quality and packaging, the statutory and regulatory environment in India is highly skewed against domestic spirits. Global brands already have a massive advantage with fixed annual market costs in most states, as well as lower % taxes at the local level. They are also able to get around the Indian laws prohibiting advertising by running their global campaigns online. With the govt. mulling reduction of import customs duties, the disadvantage for Indian products will only increase.I’ll respond to this from Amrut’s perspective, we are adored for our innovation and unprecedented releases of single malt expressions like Herald, Naarangi, Spectrum …, continuing this trend we will soon be going to release first of its kind expressions in India and the globe. According to Sanjeev Banga, President, RadicoKhaitan, a leading Indian Company, “ As they say, best is yet to come. There is increasing premiumisation in the Whisky space and more producers are entering the Indian Single Malt category. The future looks very promising for Indian Whiskies not only in India but globally. India has so much to offer to the world in terms of its unique and innovative products.

A Guide to Styles of Whisky

Whisky has been dominating the alcohol beverage market industry with rise in disposable incomes and changes in the overall consumer base in the world. While there are other significant contributors to the vast market, let us get to know about the most popular whisky styles across borders that make it so special and worthwhile. A wide market of whisky has ensured that there’s one style or brand for everyone out there. All over the globe, there are various whiskies that go through distinct procedures resulting in varied flavours and characteristics. Some of the most popular whisky styles include Bourbon, Scotch, Irish and Japanese.

‘Single Malt’, which is a specific type of production that uses the blends and malted grain (particularly barley) of only one distillery. Single malts are extremely popular, priced and are produced in multiple countries including Ireland, Canada, US, India, Scotland etc. Not only that, their exquisite flavour and high-end pricing pushes people to save it for special occasions and consume it as neat. Scotch, being one of the most popular styles, has been present since the 15th century. It is made not only by malted barley but also through wheat and corn. Its specialties vary and present themselves in its characteristics that make it one of the most prized single malt scotch whisky while having a diverse category of blended malts, blended whisky and single-grain whisky. The classic dram is usually sipped neat and sometimes a little diluted.

An invention of Scotland, ‘Blended Whisky’ is also one of the most known styles of whiskies. It is a result of blending two or more different styles of single malt and grain whiskies to provide a unique experience. When we talk about blended scotch, Some of the most special blended scotch whiskies are Johnnie Walker, Chivas Regal and Douglas Laing among many others. On the other hand, a staple of America, Bourbon Whiskey, made from at least 51% corn, is distilled, aged in charred oak barrels and requires no minimum aging period for its production. It is a product of settlers who made efforts to produce it and be the first ones to store it in charred oak casks, giving the dram a legendary brownish colour with a flavourful taste. Another kind of Bourbon is the Tennessee whiskey ; to produce whiskey in Tennessee, the state law requires and makes sure to use the step prior to aging the whiskey — Lincoln County Process.

Another American whiskey, corn whiskey is made principally from corn with a mash of at least 80% corn. The procedure applied here is the traditional mash process which in addition, does not require aging. It is a symbol of representing authentic ways of producing whiskey, when earlier, farmers used the cheapest raw material to make whiskey. It is enjoyed mostly with mixers, cola, water, as neat, or on the rocks to achieve a more palatable experience and at last as the base for the iconic cocktails – Manhattan and Old Fashioned.

Rye whiskey, an initial product of the Americans, is made with a mash of at least 51% rye that needs to be aged for a minimum of two years. It is also notably one of the most classic bases for cocktails, with a spicy touch to it.

Even though Irish whiskey and its momentum grew later on, it took birth in the 1400s when Irish monks had moved from southern Europe and started whisky-making there. On a yearly basis, the whisky is making headlines with its sales as it grows to be known for its classic and typical quality, light flavour and notes of cereal. This traditional whiskey is fancied either neat or with water or ice. On the other hand, Japanese whisky, being relatively new, has been on a streak of producing premium, high-quality whiskies. Its history starts in the 1920s when the founders Shinjiro Torii and Masataka Taketsuru gave birth to Japan’s first whisky distillery. Coming from an exquisite location, Japanese whisky is also known to have a very flavourful, smooth character with floral notes. It resonates with all the latest, high-end whiskies and is widely produced in various styles – blended, single malt and even blended malt whiskies.

Today, flavoured whiskies have proven to be a phenomenal base liquor. Day by day, infused and distilled spirits are gaining momentum, venturing into tricky ingredients that are now becoming a part of whiskies and giving rise to an endless number of possibilities for the whisky makers to indulge in. Another important aspect of a whisky that determines the flavour is the kind of cask used that are wooden vessels that are used to store and age the whisky that further depends on the quality of the wood, shape, size, ageing period and how it was treated and seasoned.

Each cask has a different flavour profile and contributes to the whisky’s character, for instance – European oaks are used to give a spicy character to the whisky. The complexity of flavours depends on the kind of casks that range from bourbon whiskey cask, sherry cask, port whiskey, rum whiskey, wine whiskey etc with various sizes that need to be chosen wisely like barrels, hogshead, madeira drum, port pipe and others. Determining and choosing the casks and sizes is essential for whisky styles and for looking at an outlook for each one of them as to what suits and goes well.
