Tasting NoteSalt Lake, Kolkata • May 12, 2026
Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Salt Lake and picked up Woodburns Contemporary Indian Whisky. At ₹2,230 in Kolkata, this represents incredible value. The notes of Hand-Charred Oak Smoke and Rich Cacao & Caramel pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Kosha. Highly recommended!”

Taste: 4/5Value: 5/5
“A highly sophisticated Bourbon Whiskey by Woodburns. Wonderfully smooth on the throat with subtle hints of Hand-Charred Oak Smoke and Smooth Peat Spice. Serving this neat during a family gathering in Park Street was a major hit, especially alongside local Chicken Kabiraji!”
