Explore a few highlights from our extensive selection below.
Aberlour
A beloved Speyside distillery, Aberlour is known for its rich, sherry-aged expressions. Smooth, deep, and delightfully warming, this is a perfect introduction to the craftsmanship behind Scotland’s finest whiskies. We stock a 10-year-old Aberlour with aromas of lemon blossom, orange peel and oak, and flavours of sweet melon, walnuts, toffee, raisins and vanilla.
Macallan
Renowned for sophistication, Macallan is a pillar in any Scotch lover’s collection. Choose from three distinguished expressions at Itihaas.
Macallan Gold Double Cask
With its notes of toffee apple, citrus, and vanilla, this elegant single malt is matured in American and European oak casks. Its gentle finish makes it a perfect pre-dinner dram.
Macallan 12 Triple Cask
A refined blend matured in three different types of oak casks—European sherry, American sherry, and American bourbon—this malt is smooth, complex, and layered with hints of coconut and chocolate.
Macallan Sienna
With a distinctive ruby hue and flavours of orange peel, raisin, and soft spice, the Sienna offers a bolder experience. It pairs beautifully with some of our hotter dishes, such as Dhaniya Tahree Murgh or Himalayan Fire Ribs.
The Balvenie
Traditional craftsmanship defines The Balvenie’s offerings. From malting their own home-grown barley to coopering their own casks, every bottle tells a story of authenticity.
The Balvenie 12 Double Wood
This classic is aged in both whisky oak and sherry oak, giving it warm spice, nutty sweetness, and a touch of sherry oak finish. It’s a gentle yet intriguing option for those new to single malts.
The Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask
Finished in rum casks, this expression adds tropical notes of fruit and toffee, making it a perfect post-dinner digestif alongside a rich dessert like our Gulab Jamun.
The Balvenie 21 Portwood
A rare gem, the 21 Portwood is aged in port wine casks, giving it a silk-like mouthfeel with flavours of dried fruit, oak, and refined spice. A must-try for seasoned whisky aficionados.
Glenfiddich
A trailblazer in the single malt category, Glenfiddich offers something for every stage of the whisky journey.
Glenfiddich 12 Year Old
Light, fresh, and slightly fruity, this expression is an easygoing introduction to single malts and pairs beautifully with lighter dishes like our Goan Prawn Curry.
Glenfiddich 18 Year Old
With deeper oak, apple, and cinnamon notes, this is a more contemplative dram. Perfectly balanced and expertly aged, it’s best savoured slowly—perhaps alongside our Dum Biryani or Laal Mirchi Rogan Josh.
Perfect Pairings
A well-chosen whisky can elevate a meal from memorable to unforgettable. At Itihaas, our team is always happy to recommend the ideal single malt to accompany your dish.
Rich, spicy Indian dishes find harmony with sweet, full-bodied whiskies, while lighter seafood and vegetarian options pair well with floral, citrus-driven expressions.
We also offer whisky cocktails, including our Chocolate Boulevardier, made with Woodford Reserve Rye Whisky, Campari, Vermouth and Cocoa liqueur, or a classic Manhattan Grand with Hennessy Vs. Our well-trained cocktail bartenders are happy to prepare your whisky in your preferred style.
