Contrary to popular belief, single malts do not overrule blended scotch whiskies. True amber-blooded aficionados will even say that the blended variants have more character. For the unversed, blended scotch whiskies are made from single malt and single grain scotch whisky. They’re a product of multiple distilleries, which allows whisky-makers to experiment to their fill while keeping the essence of the spirit alive. Below, we round up a list of delicious blended scotch whiskies, most within budget and others slightly steeper, to add to your home bar this year.
7 blended scotch whiskies between Rs 2,800 and Rs 17,500 to add to your home bar in 2024
1. Dewar’s Double Double 20
Dewar’s Double Double was one of the two finalists in the Best of Show, Blended Scotch Whisky, 16 Years and Older category in the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
The relatively new range includes a four-step ageing process that allows the single grain and single malt blend to fuse multiple times in their oak casks before being aged together. Following this, the blended liquid is processed in a selection of sherry casks that give subtle notes of cinnamon, ripe vine fruits and a silky long finish.
Price: Rs 17,500
2. Johnnie Walker 18 Year Old
