Indian whisky watch: spurious liquor

So far there is no news on how soon Officer's Choice whisky will make its way from India to America. However, the closest thing I could find to a tasting review is HERE under the title "bad, smelly whisky"

Money quote:

"Prohibition and Excise sleuths uncovered three cases of manufacture and supply of spurious liquor in the city under the “Officers Choice” brand."

Apparently two bottles of Officer's Choice were reported by "a consumer, Mr G. Satyapal Reddy, who purchased a bottle of Officer’s Choice whisky from both Reddy Wines and Gopal Wines in Bowenpally and found the liquor smelt and tasted bad."

So yeah, Officer's Choice spurious liquor. Coming to a retailer near you.

More Indian whisky and other regional treats

Maybe we were premature in declaring the 21st century to be the Chinese century. Maybe it is truly the Indian century. Another Indian whisky is looking to hit US shelves this year: Officer's Choice.



Guala cap!

I'm not sure what the officers are choosing. But there it is. I encourage you to go to the homepage and study it well. If hipsters get a hold of this everyone will be drinking "the OC". The amount of kitsch is perfect for the US market. Tasting reviews are non-existent, which is weird because there were loads of Amrut reviews before they hit the States. It is apparently a blend of "Indian malt spirits and the best selected Indian neutral spirits".

I'll keep an eye out for it and see if it the best Indian whisky I've ever had or only the second best Indian whisky I've ever had.
