Note - Im not sure what happens if say one is 61 and the spouse is 56. Pl. speak to UTI ...at 1800 22 1230 and clarify for yourself. Better to be safe than sorry. Read More

Hi Rajat, Nice reading your review. Yesterday a friend got a 1 lit bottle for me from LHR for 99 pounds - equivalent to abt Rs. 8450 not quite Rs. 5700 but a fair deal I feel. Im excited about trying it out. Being a Single Malt guy, it would be interesting to sample a blend after ages. ...Cheers ! Anand Read More
