To start with there are not many single malts in india , if I am not wrong mcdowell single malt is the only single malt available in india that is india made. its price is same as other blended whiskey.
Smoothness wise it is ok and give u some fun but I would like to point out the taste it is smooth but not tasty , the flavour does not hold long only few minutes and after that u realize that what the hell are u drinking taste retension is poor atleast it should hold for some time .
I guess we don;t have much options about the single malt as foreign made available like glenlivet, glenfiddich, maccallan, laphroeig ( they are all very good except glenlivet which is excellent)
