The one-of-its-kind single malt whisky is created using seven inimitable steps. Only select Indian six-row barley, that travel from the Himalayan foothills over 2000 kilometers to Goa, go into the making of Epitome Reserve Peated Single Malt whisky. Then, the sweet waters of the Mandovi river hydrate the heads of perfectly broken grains, and the heat from the Islay peat give the full-bodied earthy grains an unmissable marine twist. The play of the sea and spice ensue as the liquid moves from copper pot stills to maturation in American Oak casks against the briny Goan sea breeze. The liquid is then exclusively finished in cabernet sauvignon casks.
