Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Panaji and picked up Ballantine's 7 Years Bourbon Barrel Blended Scotch Whisky. At ₹2,580 in Goa, this represents incredible value. The notes of Toffee Apple and Creamy Caramel pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Pork Vindaloo. Highly recommended!”
