Allied Blenders and Distillers has introduced what it calls a “game-changing innovation” to the spirits category, aptly named ICONiQ Winter International grain whiskey. Designed to keep the winter chill at bay, this unique blend promises to deliver warmth, flavour and pure indulgence.

Given the shift from whiskey to rum in cold weather ABD’s Chief Innovation and Strategy Officer, Bikram Basu says this is the “first whiskey made for winter”. The blend is curated with select Scotch malts and Indian grain spirits with cinnamon, ginger, clove, nutmeg, pepper and cardamom.

ICONiQ Winter International grain whiskey is available in Maharashtra at ?680 for 750-ml bottle. It will also be available in some markets in North India.
