Yello Whisky Review: Is Ranveer Singh's ₹2,700 Whisky Worth It?

Priced at ₹2,700 for a 750 ml bottle in Maharashtra, the whisky is also available across Goa, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Kolkata and Bengaluru. At this price point, consumers are already looking at established Scotch labels such as  Ballantine's , VAT 69 and Black & White . That naturally raises the question — what makes Yello worth considering? A Cross-Continental Blend The makers position Yello as a 'cross-continental blend' designed for today’s younger whisky drinker — consumers who are more experimental and open to contemporary flavour profiles. Produced at Allied Blenders & Distillers ’s Aurangabad facility, the whisky combines Scotch malts from the Highlands and Speyside with Indian malt whisky. While the concept of blending Scotch with Indian malts is hardly new in the Indian whisky industry, the execution is what matters. The blend leans heavily into a sweeter, softer flavour profile rather than spice-forward aggression. The Scotch malts, mature

This round gave us two very different beer styles to figure out. […] The post Homebrew Jar of Destiny: The Eighteenth Pick appeared first on Brew Dudes .
