“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Andheri and picked up The Ardmore Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Aged 12 Years. At ₹6,500 in Mumbai, this represents incredible value. The notes of Smoky peat and Sweet malt pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Kheema Pav. Highly recommended!”
