The Blends of The World

The Blend brings you the world’s best in the industry to inspire you to be creative in your craft.

The Bowmore Series

In the world’s largest whisky market, scores of Indians have discovered the joys of Scottish whisky. But if there is a regional style that they are partial to – it must be the peaty whiskies from Islay!

The Toki Series

The newest addition to Suntory’s whisky portfolio – Toki – makes its debut in India and for many who like their Japanese malts and blends, Bill Murray’s iconic quote holds good for the drams in their glass – ‘For relaxing times, make it Suntory time’!

The Roku Gin Series

There is no doubting the fact that Gin is IN! And HOW! In a country that has had a long drawn love affair with its drams of whisk(e)y, Gin has been a disruptor. It is back on everyone’s list of favourites and is in everyone’s glass. Kanpai!
