We met Madhu Kanna via Zoom back in October 2022, but now we get to hang out in-person with a special tasting of rare expressions in the back room at The Phoenix. This must-try Indian whisky comes from a village distillery running on renewable energy in the foothills of the Himalayas. Former Amrut master blender Surrinder Kumar demonstrates his unerring sense of balance, pace, and control over the fast-maturing single malt, which is distilled from organically grown six-row Indian barley indigenous to Rajasthan. It is manually harvested and hand-selected for malting. The malted barley is then mashed and fermented before being distilled in a traditional onion head pot still. There will be complimentary appetizers and a welcome cocktail served before the tasting.
