Locally available whiskies in India are classified as "IMFL" -or Indian made
foreign liquor or imported whiskies. The names I get offered are "Bagpiper",
"Royal Challenge", "100 Pipers", "Glen Drummond", Johnny Walker and Chivas
Regal and a few others. Only Glen Drummond is a single malt.
Bagpiper is pure poison. Royal Challenge is pure ethanol. I would personally
rate 100 Pipers as my favorite - probably superior to Johnny Walker. But I
must add that I am not at all certain that what is poured out of Johnny
Walker bottles is the real stuff.
IIRC, none of the IMFL whiskies are made from malt. They all have malt
flavor added to them. My source for this info is an uncle who used to
work for Shaw Wallace.
