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

What Wine Education Taught Me about Food

I've always loved food. Cookbooks stacked in the kitchen cabinets, the pretty ones displayed. I'm the kind of person who reads the entire menu before ordering. But it wasn't until I started learning about wine — really learning about it — that I understood how much of the eating experience I'd been missing. That sounds [...] The post What Wine Education Taught Me about Food appeared first on Capital Wine School .

Revisiting the Movia Vinoteka in Ljubljana, Slovenia

I first visited the Movia Vinoteka about 20 years ago. I went back one or two more times, until I didn’t. It wasn’t due to the location as you simply can’t be more central than having your establishment next to the town hall of Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana in the very pretty Old Town quarter of the city. Nor did I not return for the interior with its just-enough darkness, wood surfaces, and metal accents that keep it modern but friendly and at no point does it go off the rails […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

First Drop Forza Nebbiolo 2018

  With some gentle encouragement, this Adelaide Hills Nebbiolo from Firs Drop Wines slowly emerged from its chrysalis. Tame with a muted nose on opening, you need to sift about to get it going. Dried purple petals and lavender eventually mustered up the courage to get things underway. Tight through the mid-palate, it really hit its straps on the third day of tasting, which enabled a few more runs to hit the scoreboard. All the varietal things shape up with cherry cola, dried plums and dark cherries met by a slew of savoury delights. Dusty tannins are mid-palate focused and tight, pointing to a long future ahead. But to drink now, a long decant is needed to see it at its best. 91/100 Region:  Adelaide Hills RRP:  $60 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to   Qwine here Follow:  Instagram ,  LinkedIn  and  X
