Daru has an image of a lion on its label and a map of India on its reverse however — shock! — it’s really a Canadian whiskey. “Impressed” by the flavors of Indian whisky and created by the 2 youngsters of an Indian emigrant, the model dates again to 2020. The model’s solely bottling is a 3 12 months previous whiskey aged in Canadian oak which is filtered via activated charcoal earlier than bottling.
Most Indian whisky classically resembles Scotch, however Daru clearly strikes out by itself for inspiration. A candy nostril rapidly reveals notes of contemporary corn — after which caramel corn — together with expressive notes of butterscotch and cinnamon. The whiskey virtually feels prefer it has had baking spices instantly added to it, much more so on the palate, which is expressive with sweeter nutmeg, gingerbread, vanilla, and caramel notes. The end finds room for some toasted coconut, extra caramel corn, and a conclusion that wavers between cotton sweet and cinnamon rolls.
All of that’s to say there’s not a number of whiskeyness to this expertise, which can or will not be what you’re in search of on this bottling. To my palate, the gathering of flavors evokes Indian meals excess of Indian whisky — so, on the very least, it’s making me hungry.
90 proof.
