Bagpiper is a brand of blended Indian whisky that has been available in India for over five decades. The brand is a part of the portfolio owned by United Spirits Ltd., a subsidiary of Diageo LLC in India.

The Bagpiper whisky brand belongs to the economy whisky segment. It is a very popular brand of whisky in the semi-urban and rural markets throughout the country.

History of Bagpiper whisky

Established in 1976 by Herbertsons Limited, Bagpiper is one of the oldest whisky brands in India that are still widely available today. United Breweries Group, the parent company of Herbertson Limited were prominent players in the alcoholic beverages in the market during that period.

Historically, Bagpiper has been a strong whisky brand in India, with sales figures rising consistently since it was first introduced. In recent times, the brand has suffered sagging sales figures after enjoying a prosperous spell that began in 2005. The Bagpiper brand of whisky was declared India’s largest selling whisky, a title it has since lost.

Currently, Bagpiper still ranks among the top ten highest selling Indian whisky brands in the country, behind the likes of more popular brands such as Imperial Blue, Royal Stag, Officer’s Choice and others.

Making Process of Bagpiper whisky

Like most Indian blended whiskies from the economy segment, the Bagpiper blend is created by combining imported Scotch malts with neutral spirits distilled from molasses. Whisky brands in India that belong to the premium segment blend Scotch malts with fine grain whisky, although brands such as Bagpiper opt for neutral spirit in order to lower the costs.

Alcohol Percentage in Bagpiper whisky

Bagpiper Deluxe blended Indian whisky carries an alcohol strength of 42.8% ABV, the standard limit for Indian whisky and other alcoholic beverages.

The Glenlivet Master Distiller's Reserve Malt

The Glenlivet legacy lives on in this incredibly sweet and smooth spirit, available exclusively in Travel Retail. The cornerstone of the range, the Master Distiller’s Reserve showcases the approach perfectly: the traditional oak casks represent the classic style of The Glenlivet (ripe pear, gentle summery notes), while first-fill American oak provides depth and creaminess (coconut, soft fudge). Finally, ex-sherry oak brings complexity and richness (dried fruit, spice). Maturation in three types of oak makes for three times the character. This bright and lively gold expression has pear and fudge on the nose and fruit and spice on the palate. To finish, it dazzles with hints of marzipan and hazelnut. Founded by George Smith, The Glenlivet has been crafted in the remote Livet Valley, at the heart of Scotland's Speyside region, since 1824. Initially, George Smith was a farmer who used to have illicit stills. In 1824, he founded the first legal distillery in the parish of Glenlivet, thus legalising the already famous illicit whisky from Scotland. He went on to establish the brand’s reputation as the best whisky on the market. In 1884, a court ruling officially gave George Smith's single malt the exclusive right to be called The Glenlivet. At the start of the 20th century, The Glenlivet became the favourite whisky for enthusiasts throughout the British Empire. Following the end of Prohibition in the United States, its reputation grew in America, with The Glenlivet quickly becoming the No.1 single malt in the USA – a position it continues to enjoy today. The Glenlivet owes its unique taste to a number of specific factors relating to its production and location. Indeed, the distillery is located in the Cairngorms National Park, at over 270 metres above sea level. According to weather records, it is considered to be the coldest place in Britain, characterised by strong winds and heavy snowfalls in winter. Water is drawn from Josie’s Well, a source of hard mineral water, which enables complex aromas to develop during the distillation process. Then, the lantern-shaped stills used for distilling give the spirit its outstanding balance and strong character. Lastly, a careful ageing process, particularly in American oak casks, gives The Glenlivet its full flavour.

Bakery Hill Peated Malt

Originally made with imported UK peat, the Bakery Hill Peated Malt is now made with Australian Peat (however, it is lightly-peated in the vein of a Speyside than an Islay peat). The wash is produced in 1000L batches, then traditionally double-distilled in a copper-pot still. Bakery Hill's firm belief that caramel dulls the real flavors of the whisky stays true here, with no coloring added to the peated malt. (Note: this is not currently available in the US.)

Glenfiddich Reserve Cask Malt Scotch

"Matured in distinctive Spanish sherry casks to create a rich and mellow flavour, each individual cask is hand-selected for its flavour profile by our Malt Master, Brian Kinsman.

Officers Choice Black Whisky

It is an authentic and exquisite blend of Scottish malts from three regions – Highland, Lowland and Speyside. A truly exquisite whisky, it derives the distinctive taste and character from the charred oak barrels it is matured in. The strong toasted touch of charred oak, combined with the deep notes of fruity and floral flavours create a complex harmony that makes it a rich and rare blend. OC Black consumer is a self-made man who believes that his life is full of opportunities and looks forward to fulfilling his dreams and aspirations. While success is the driving factor for the consumer, he also realises that success is not just about money but transforming the lives of others. This is beautifully captured in the baseline of ‘Be More than Big. Be Great.’
