Allied Blenders and Distillers, the company behind Officer’s Choice and Sterling Reserve, built Iconiq by blending imported Scotch malts aged in bourbon oak casks with matured malt and Indian grain spirits. The producer describes the aroma as leaning towards fruit and nuts, with a woody note underneath. The aim is an easy, light style made for everyday drinking, especially with ice and mixers, which is how most whisky in India is enjoyed. It comes in several bottle sizes, and the 375ml is half a standard 750ml bottle, handy for trying it before committing to a larger one or for keeping a lighter bottle in the cupboard.

Keep it simple. Pour 30ml over plenty of ice and top with chilled soda for a long, refreshing highball, or mix it with cola or ginger ale and a squeeze of lime. It also works on the rocks with a splash of water. As food goes, it sits comfortably beside spiced and grilled dishes: tandoori chicken, seekh kebabs, pakoras or a bowl of salted cashews. It suits anyone who likes a light, mixable whisky and anyone keen to try one of the fast-growing Indian whisky brands without paying for a full-size bottle.
