Royal Stag Whiskey Review

Let’s address the elephant in the room; Is Royal Stag a whiskey or a rum? Most of us consider Royal Stag to be a whiskey, whereas very few people are aware about the fact that it’s actually made with rum. Royal Stag is basically an Indian-made foreign liquor. It’s a blended whiskey which is a blend of imported Scotch malts and selected Indian grain spirits. The production of this whiskey takes place in several distilleries, some of them are external bottlers while some belong to the company itself. 

Royal Stag bagged its name after one of the species of deer which is famous for its antlers that soar high in the air. 

The Royal Stag whiskey is a full-bodied whiskey which is famous for its exceptional smoothness, taste and malty flavour. One should note that this whiskey is one of the few blends which can be consumed on the rocks. 

The tag line of this whiskey ‘Make it large’ goes well with its consistency. This brand redefined the spirits space in India by making room for an international quality blend, mastering the grain spirit blended with Scotch malts. Royal Stag is one of the five core brands of Pernod Ricard along with Seagram’s Imperial Blue, Seagram’s Blender’s Pride, Chivas Regal and Seagram’s 100 Pipers to build its business in India and carve a niche in the hearts of people. Royal Stag’s alcohol percentage is 42.8%

Review of 100 Pipers

There is a sound piece of history which has inspired the birth of this brand. The 100 Pipers is a fine blend of around thirty whiskeys sources from in and around Scotland. This whiskey is aged in a combination of European Sherry and American ex-bourbon casks, and is regarded as one of the most renowned blends in Asia. It is also available in South America and parts of Europe.  This brand was taken over by Seagrams in 1949 which finally entered the American lands in the 60s in order to compete with the various ‘standard’ whiskeys available at that time. Although this blend isn’t premium, it still does a fair amount of justice to the ‘deluxe’ tag that it carries with itself. This golden coloured liquor is most definitely a candy to the eyes. The blend is grainy with some nice traces of cream and malt. The nose of this whiskey is vanilla and caramel with some hints of citrus and fresh malt. It is a very well constructed blend that has rightfully gained all the appreciation from the world
