The Signature Premier Grain Whisky Breakdown: A Smooth, Creamy Cocktail Favourite
A good quality blended whisky which moves ahead of entry-level whiskies without really stepping into the premium, luxury space, the Signature grain whisky offers an amateur enthusiast a glimpse of the fine spirits produced in Indian distilleries. A refined and slightly smoother alternative to standard whisky blends, this grain whisky carries a more finished texture with a keen focus on using high-quality Indian grain spirits blended with imported Scotch malts.
Appearance And Packaging
A 750 ml bottle of Signature Premier Grain Whisky carries a dark green colour with a rather sophisticated yet robust appearance that exemplifies the vision of the distillers to craft a green whisky to precision. The red and white label on the whisky offers a stunning contrast to the deep green which in itself is embedded with the maker’s logo exemplifying the bold craft and character that goes into the making of this spirit.
The golden hued Signature grain whiskey is prepared by sourcing organic grains and distilled using energy-efficient methods in a conscious grain to glass process. This deeply coloured whisky made from locally-sourced ingredients carries all the purposeful flavours and aromas reflecting nature as the inspiration behind preparing the blend.
Aroma And Taste
Crafted by Signature’s master blenders, this whisky offers a remarkably rich and smooth experience that is indicative of the exquisite selection of Scottish malts used for blending the spirit. On the nose, the whisky carries a soft and slightly sweet aroma complete with the notes of honey, mild spices and certain dried fruits. Subtle oaky and vanilla-like fragrances imbue the drink’s aroma with an elegant layer that comes from the Scottish malt. All this is undercut by the slight grainy effect that comes from the Indian grain whiskies which form the base of the spirit.

Such a drink made using as many as 10 imported Scotches crafted from the finest barley, aged Indian malts and grain whiskies carries a flavour note that lends the blend a remarkably creamy character. The whisky is complete with quite a bit of flavour depth and complexity that introduces it with a nutty note and a light toffee-like sweetness. Grain-forward tastes also become prominent well into the tasting experience and a peppery spice is apparent towards the end.
The spirit then undoubtedly carries a light, malty aftertaste, a lingering touch of vanilla and oak and a clean grainy note, all of which come together in a stylish finish that this blend of local and Scottish whiskies offer.
Serving And Cocktail Making
This whisky is best served for tasting with just a splash of water that tones down some of the more robust notes of the grain blends involved in its making. Often, mixologists suggest using this whisky in cocktail craft as it can become an ingredient well-suited to making simple highballs, whisky-sodas, whisky-gingers or a classic whisky served on the rocks. The Signature grain can be used at a house party or at an informal gathering as the base ingredient for crafting these straightforward yet classic and rather sophisticated blends.
Approachable, smooth and an excellent base for blending cocktails, the Signature Premier Grain Whisky is then an interesting alternative for those starting out on their whisky tasting journeys. This is because its blended flavours lend the whisky a certain light, uncomplicated quality which may be a step away from the intricacy and robustness of peaty whiskies or single malts.
With a noticeably refined edge over standard whisky blends, the Signature grain whisky thereby offers solid value at a moderate price, a clean flavour and a cocktail-conducive character that makes it an interesting spirit to serve with soda and a splash of fresh lime juice – all on the rocks.
