I am excited to unbox and share the tasting notes of Unibev's barrel aged whiskey and premium brandy. Governor's Reserve and Oakton Barrel Aged whiskies are the first of their kind in the Indian beverage alcohol industry, created with imported 12 YO and 18 YO scotch respectively.
Unibev, a start up led by Vijay Rekhi, the former MD of United Spirits, has also created the distinction of the first premium brandy, L'Affaire Napoleon Premium brandy, created with imported 3YO matured grape spirit.
The brands are available at leading outlets in Bangalore, Mysore, Mangalore and soon in Telangana and AP. L'Affaire Napoleon Premium Brandy is also available in Puducherry.
Oakton Barrel Aged Rare Premium Grain Whisky Blended with upto 18 years old scotch & Matured Indian Malts This barrel aged rare premium grain whisky is a unique blend with upto 18 year old imported scotch and matured Indian malts.
Oakton is harmonious, crisp and lingers on the palate resulting in a smooth fruity aftertaste. The preponderance of premium malts with hints of dried apricot, walnut, citrus, cloves as well as pleasing honey, toffee, vanilla and cinnamon delicately combine to create a complex yet invigorating medium-bodied whisky balanced with flavours of mild oak and peat. Segment: Super Premium.
Governors Reserve Rare & Aged 100% premium grain whisky Blended with upto 12 years old scotch & Matured Indian Malts This 100% premium grain whisky is a carefully crafted blend with upto 12 year old imported scotch and matured Indian malts.
Governor’s Reserve tasting notes reveal a light bodied, smooth blend with the sweetness of honey and raisin balanced by vanilla and fruity notes. There are also gentler hints of spices and peat present which add to its rich complexity and unique flavour. Dare we say, salute to the Governor and all his men and women! Segment: Premium
Laffaire Napoleon Premium French Blended Grape Brandy Blended with 3 years old imported French Brandy L’Affaire Brandy is a classic blend of the finest 3 year old brandy from the famous grape growing regions of France and Indian grape spirits. Using the traditional ‘Pot Still’ method, this oak matured brandy is truly meant for connoisseurs and enthusiasts of fine brandies.
Next time you decide to have your brandy, raise you glass and make a toast, to the spirit of L’Affaire. Segment: Premium
My overall thoughts after tasting the whiskeys and brandy. Oakton has a sweeter and smoother taste with distinctive caramel and smoky flavors. Governors Reserve has a chocolate, nuty and smooth taste. This is my first time tasting a wine brandy, I enjoyed the smooth taste distinctive flavors of vanilla and honey. Both whiskeys make a great drink my choice was Oakton. However one must try all the three drinks and decide which one you like better. Priced between 1042/- to 1400/- for 750 ML.
