Brilliance Indian Single Malt Whisky
Single Malt Whisky - 46% Abv
All the brilliance of Goa is bottled up in this Single Malt.
Its sparkling hues are reminiscent of sun-kissed beaches. The six-row barley for this whisky comes from the foothills of the Himalayas. Brilliance is matured in bourbon casks, to give you absolute sensory delight.

Bold Indian Single Malt Whisky
Single Malt Whisky - 46% Abv
Bold is a journey that leads you down the unexplored, unchartered terrains of Goa.
It offers you a slice of its best-kept secrets, unraveling the mysteries, bit by little bit.
This expression of ours invites you to leave the trail, tread the path less taken and plunge headlong into the delicious depths of Goa.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: After the slightest whiff of smoke, a dizzying array of Manuka honey, prickly spice and bourboneque red liquorice takes over.
Palate: This melt-in-the-mouth malt has the most profound flavours crashing in like waves. At first, the delivery feels sublimely silky and studded with oak-like honey. And just when you think you’ve savoured it all, you are surprised by a hefty second wave of spice. This is followed by a cloudy, smoky feel that coats the roof of the mouth and leaves a tidal wave of dry molasses, peaty soot and a degree of copper in its wake.
Finish: Bold has a light finish with a tinge of copper slowly making its presence known. You can also sense a gorgeous smoked mocha shaped by delicate and intricate spices.
