In high spirits

New Delhi, Dec 23 (Ajit Weekly Newslife) Ringing in festive cheer over clinking glasses is the celebration of Christmas. Whether you like your tipple strong or with a twist, we’ve listed a few options for you to try and they also make for a great gift:

Royal Ranthambore whiskey

Inspired by the majestic tigers from the land of royalty, The Royal Crafted Rare Whisky is painstakingly crafted with various bespoke blended malt scotches from different geographical regions. The rare scotch grain is made from 100 percent malted barley, carefully blended with oak-infused Indian Grain Neutral Spirit to harmonize this royal blend. The colour of the whisky is inspired by the royal tigers of Ranthambore. Much like other premium whiskies, Royal Ranthambore is to be experienced rather than just swigged. There is a small ritual that is performed before one tipple this royal liquid. Pour it, hold it up, have a good whiff, take a sip that lingers in the mouth for a few seconds, and then, let it slowly flow down your throat.
