Rose petals to red velvet: The whisky that tastes like mithai

What's behind this

During Diwali celebrations across India, families indulge in traditional sweets and elaborate spreads, and whisky tasting notes traditionally focus on oak, smoke and peat flavours. A recent premium whisky offering, highlighted in a feature titled “Rose petals to red velvet: The whisky that tastes like mithai,” shifts this convention by using unexpected descriptors such as rose petals, red velvet and flavours reminiscent of Indian mithai. The article notes this new approach as part of the broader festive indulgence, but provides no further details on the brand or specific tasting profile.
